Nontalo is an ingenious stool where play, spontaneity and sustainability are in harmony. It is made of a compostable material from olive pits.Through its modularity and organic shape, the stool can be combined and expanded to become a chair, bench or other figures according to the user's creativity

From waste to product

This stool is composed of a strong and durable material that is also easily compostable. This material is made from olive pits and natural compounds that are environmentally friendly. This waste is used in the form of a new natural wood that is easy to shape. Its rough, organic texture creates a natural and mediterranean ambience.

Spontaneous design

The organic and modular shape of this stool means that its structure can be expanded and combined to become a chair, bench or other abstract shapes where play, imagination and the user's need come together. This clever design allows two designs and six interlocking modules to form this ingenious seat.

Monomaterial

Apart from the material and shape, this seat is produced from a single material, so there is no need for connecting elements. This facilitates the production and, above all, recycling and the end of the product's life. The result is a comfortable, soft and warm design object.
