An object poised between stool, sculpture, and disciplinary architecture. Its ceramic seat with lateral protrusions immobilizes the body and impedes movement, turning the act of sitting into a gesture of submission.
Stratum Apparator reconsiders the familiar quadrangularity of the stool, exposing the tension between positive and negative space. Leather interlayers between modules recall the articulations of bone and cartilage, reinforcing an anatomical association. Here, sitting is not an act of rest but an event of discipline: form roots the body, making it a component of structure. A simple typology unfolds as a field of power and constraint (Foucault), in which each curve and void institutes a regime of presence and distribution; the motif of arborescent orders (Deleuze) is also legible.
