About the original
The Lectus New York is a folding museum stool produced in Mönsterås, Sweden, designed by A&E Design's Hans Ehrich as an evolution of the Stockholm II stool that Lectus has supplied to museums, galleries, and public institutions since 1995. It has a 44 x 28 cm seat in molded plastic, a 2.3 kg tare weight, and a 130 kg load rating, with an enlarged base for stability on hard floors and a folding mechanism designed to operate one-handed. A&E Design, founded by Tom Ahlström and Hans Ehrich in Stockholm in 1968, is known for ergonomic public-space objects across Scandinavia. The original ships in red, black, blue, yellow, and metallic grey; the FW25 Supreme version adds a box logo print to the seat.
