Bloom stool, oak

Articul's Bloom is a remarkably light and versatile stool by Latvian designer Aldis Circenis, with a flowing frame made from bent-glued plywood and veneer. Its seat has a four-armed shape reminiscent of a flower, or perhaps a four-leaf clover. Light enough to move with ease, Bloom feels equally at home at the dining table or in a child's room, and its stackable design makes it a great fit for restaurants and public spaces as well.

Bloom earned a Red Dot Design Award in 2012 and placed third at the International Design Awards in the United States in 2011. Bloom stools are made in Latvia.

Aldis Circenis

Articul is a Latvian furniture manufacturer with roots dating back to 1993. That year, architect Aldis Circenis founded SIA Coppa, a studio focused on interior design, and in 1999, its sister company Riga Chair Factory began producing ergonomic office chairs. The chairs soon became a familiar sight in Latvian offices.

In 2010, Riga Chair Factory found a new speciality: bent laminated plywood, from which Circenis designed light and inventive furniture for both homes and public spaces. The pieces drew attention and won awards beyond Latvia as well – for instance, the flower-like Bloom stool received the Red Dot Design Award in 2012. In 2016, ergonomic school furniture joined the range, and in 2023, the company’s various operations were brought together under a single brand named Articul.
