In French Echape means escape, but also is a dynamic position in ballet dance. We have decided to combine the ethereal grace and lightness of a ballet dancer with the joy and happiness of a casual meeting at a bar between friends and acquaintances. The stools come in a variety of different standard heights and are manufacured using a combination of numerical control and traditional craft techniques, to realize a unique, ecologically sound and beautiful contemporary stools with high aesthetic, sculptural and tactile value.
