Tu-be Footstool

Tu-be is a seating collection that transforms simplicity into character. Cylindrical volumes and an aluminum frame define a minimalist, durable, and surprisingly comfortable design.

Tu-be is a collection of chairs, armchairs, lounge chairs, and stools designed by Paolo Vernier for MIDJ. The name is born from the intersection of form and meaning: the tube, the element that shapes the entire structure, and to be, the verb of being, which evokes a design capable of effortlessly asserting its identity. The extruded aluminum frame becomes the collection’s hallmark. A continuous line defines the legs, armrests, and backrest, transforming a technical element into a minimalist and instantly recognizable design language. A stainless steel frame supports the seat, creating a balance between visual lightness, solidity, and resistance. The choice of durable and corrosion-resistant materials makes Tu-be suitable for both indoor and outdoor spaces. The fully upholstered frame enhances the clean lines and offers welcoming comfort. Available in leather, faux leather, or fabric, the collection adapts effortlessly to residential, hospitality, and contract settings, while maintaining a strong and recognizable identity. With Tu-be, the tube stops being a simple construction element to become a design feature: decisive, contemporary and capable of characterizing the space with personality.
