一个由木棍和钢构件构成，广受好评的折叠椅子。将废弃的扫把，耙子，铲子收集起来，使用它们的手柄棍子而做成。这些可回收利用的棍子同时接受捐献，要求捐献棍子直径在28—29毫米。还有一款白色的椅子，使用全新木棍。

充满过去痕迹的棍子被组合成为新的折叠凳子。上面自然的凹切口显示出内部全新的木质。这些凹切口是舒适的坐面和靠背面。因为来源十分宽广，木棍有多种材质。制作一把这样的椅子需要消耗长为10米的木棍。简单优雅的日常形态。

这款椅子在2013年一月14日—30日于科隆家具展展出，位置是3.1厅C走廊的080位。

Dutch designer Reinier de Jong presents a new chair named STEEL, surprisingly made of… wooden handles. The chair will be on show together with a new version of the acclaimed REK bookcase and REK coffee table from January 14 to 20, 2013 in the stand of Reinier de Jong at the IMM Cologne.

Soil, rain, hands, air, sunlight. Used broom handles show traces of their former use by their patina. STEEL chair is made from handles of brooms, rakes, shovels etc. The chair gives the wood a third life after it has been taken from its original tree and turned into a tool handle. Another version of the chair is made from new, white handles.

The patina has formed itself around the handle like a new bark, as it were. Color and texture depend on how and where the tool was used. Craftsmen in the Netherlands work the collected handles to turn them into a folding chair. New, clean wood becomes visible at the places where the wood is cut. The cut-outs form a natural, concave shape where one gets in contact with the chair: the seat and the back rest. The chair has a simple and modest yet refined shape which reflects the everyday nature of its original components.

The STEEL chair is made of different types of wood (ramin, beech, ash), depending on the supply. You can also contribute to this chair. Donate your old wooden handles from brooms, rakes, shovels, flagpoles, banisters etc, as long as they are 28 or 29 mm in diameter. For each usable meter of old handles 1 euro will be donated to charity. Or you can donate your handles to have them turned into a chair for yourself. One chair contains approximately 10 meter of handles. Check reinierdejong.com for more information.

Along with the new STEEL chair, Reinier de Jong will also present both REK bookcase and REK coffee table at the IMM furniture fair in Cologne from January 14 to 20, 2013. A brand new version of the bookcase will be on show finished with recycled HPL. The Dewar Glassware and the Copper Lights by designer David Derksen will also be exhibited in the stand.

Visit Reinier de Jong at stand number 080 in exhibition hall 3.1 (aisle C).
