Midj TU-BE – Designer Stool with Upholstered Tubular Frame

TU-BE Stool by Midj – The Aesthetics of Soft Pop Culture and Graphic Minimalism

The TU-BE stool by Midj redefines contemporary bar seating, masterfully balancing between playful soft pop aesthetics and clean, graphic minimalism. Centered around the concept of bold, tubular lines, its design language introduces a fresh, lightweight geometric volume to modern interiors. Rather than being a simple utility piece, TU-BE acts as an architectural focal point, carefully tailored for spaces that demand furniture with a distinct personality, sophisticated demeanor, and high design value.

Structural Contrast and Refined Styling

Stylistically, the stool thrives on material continuity and visual illusion. While its outline mimics industrial metal pipe structures, Midj elevates the concept by wrapping the frame in rich upholstery. Beneath the tailored exterior lies a highly durable core, engineered from a premium combination of aluminum and stainless steel (aluminum and stainless steel structure). This robust internal structural skeleton is fully cushioned and covered, forming thick, welcoming cylinders that seamlessly shape the legs, comfortable seat, and low-profile backrest. This uniform texturing provides a warm, tactile experience, which is brilliantly grounded by the horizontal bar of the same aluminum and stainless steel frame. Kept intentionally exposed and free of fabric, this section serves as a resilient footrest, adding structural rigidity and a sleek touch of industrial metallic contrast to prevent wear over time.

Bespoke Customization for Residential and OIKADE Contract Environments

Offered by OIKADE in two distinct architectural heights, the TU-BE collection adapts flawlessly to diverse spatial blueprints. The H65 version (65 cm seat height) is perfectly calibrated for premium residential kitchen islands, while the H75 version (75 cm seat height) is engineered to withstand high-end commercial hospitality bar counter demands.

The stool offers absolute creative freedom with Midj’s extensive upholstery catalog. Architects and specifiers can select from top-tier contract fabrics (Categories TA, TB, TC, TD, TE), rich velvets, or elite genuine Italian leathers (Fiore and Vintage). This superb adaptability makes TU-BE an invaluable asset for design professionals collaborating with OIKADE Contract to execute memorable commercial layouts.
