STOOLS

PIN–UP, alongside A83 and Barkow Leibinger, are pleased to present STOOLS, an exhibition opening September 26 and running through December 5, 2026. A sequel to Hocker, curated by Barkow Leibinger in Berlin in 2025, STOOLS brings together 44 stools by Berlin and New York-based architects and designers. Ubiquitous throughout a designer’s career, the stool’s modest scale, range of materials, and shifting utility make it a revealing design problem. Around a large table on Grand Street, provocations from both cities engage with the ideas shaping design today.
