Tight stool is a wooden puzzle of legs and seat kept together with a coloured thread. The stool draws inspiration from the elementary binding systems people use in everyday life to place together loose elements and form, change or fix objects. The thread is essential to the construction of the stool, it acts as a structural element that holds the different components together, while it indirectly brings a decorative note that refers to the tradition of trimming. The repetitive gesture of winding the cord, similar to the process of making a spool, is sufficient in itself to bring the different elements together and give shape to the seat.
