Architecture studio Sukchulmok has created the cone-shaped Chul-02 Cone Stool to showcase the "sharp and mechanical form of steel".
The piece is composed of three connected components – each featuring conical tops held up by pointed legs that can be inserted into the ground.

"These [three components] are designed to appear as individual pieces while also creating the impression of leaning against each other," Sukchulmok lead designer Park Hyunhee told Dezeen.
"Inspired by peg-type landscape lights, the Chul-02 Cone Stool showcases the sharp and mechanical form of steel," Hyunhee added. "The peg-type design features a pointed part, intended to be inserted into the ground."

The trio of circular tops each measure 200 millimetres in diameter and join together to create a larger seat.
A mechanical joint, produced by Sukchulmok in tandem with design studio Object Leuci, was used to connect the conical tops to the legs.
"We wanted the joint that adjusts the angle between the support leg and the stool top to be structurally expressed, and decided to pay homage to the three-level joint and mechanical form of Jean-Michel Wilmotte's Midland Table," Hyunhee said.
This connection enables the adjustment of each leg for stability across different types of surfaces.
The steel stool is the first piece to be created as part of a series by the studio that aims to showcase the properties of different materials.
"The project begins with the creation of furniture or objects that deal with the material properties of stone (suk), steel (chul), and wood (mok)," Hyunhee said.
"My unique rules for establishing a sense of proportion will be applied in expressing these material properties, aiming to create forms of symbolic shapes that are unconventional for furniture."
