Taking the basketball hoop with an iconographical approach, Bucket is a versatile structure – by flipping upside down, it can be used as a stool, a ball storage, and a table base.
Having observed people’s subconscious tendency of sitting on balls while resting after the game, the steel-frame was designed to playfully exaggerate this action of taking for granted.
When the ball is placed on top, the structure becomes a playful, yet ergonomic stool.
Bucket also comes in a taller size for the bar stool and a taller storage.

TIEL is a Seoul-based multidisciplinary creative practice, bringing together the minds of Swiss-Korean duo Charlotte Therre and Joong Han Lee.
Before the end of 2016 they founded their studio in Seoul, where diverse urban manufacturing and craft industries thrive. Therre and Lee aim to deliver their own narrative, influenced by two different cultures and experiences. They contextualize geometric phenomena into the simplest, yet the most playful form, by experimenting with diverse material characteristics.
TIEL offers creative direction, product, graphic and space design, focusing on research, concept development, and collaboration with professionals in different fields.
