It doesn't look like the table is made of ply or is a knock down piece either, although it is a nice piece. The stool featured here is also quite nice, but I'd challenge that it should be composed of fewer parts. Part of the beauty of knock down furniture is having the least amount of parts possible while still being able to flat pack it for shipping. I think putting indivual bent stool pieces together prior would be an option worth exploring. Also, the seat does use quite a lot of material but I do love how massive it is and perhaps it needs to be in order to support the correct amount of weight and house hardware. All in all, I think this is a great study piece and I'd buy it. Nice work! I don’t see a connection from the table to the stool other than a slightly aesthetic one.

Ikea might be hungry for it. I´m only a little bit confused about the seating area.. Visually I think upper edge of bended of plywood might create discomfort... Good Luck Nice work Giorgio!

I´m only a little bit confused about the seating area.. Visually I think upper edge of bended of plywood might create discomfort…
Good Luck

It seemed semantically more "correct" to me. Moreover, the thickness is a geometrical consequence of the use of hardening bars and locking bolts. Having more vertical surface, in addition, wraps the legs and let me avoid using a low system to keep the legs in position. Imagine a 1cm thick seat: the legs would have been free to oscillate, while this way I augmented the lever and lowered the fulcrum. Anyway, I am glad we're discussing it now, it's very useful for me !
