Merging man and machine by combining classic wood craftsmanship with compression moulding, Kallio imbues the In Between Bar Stool with some Nordic soul. Seen in a simple, timeless design that’s kissing cousins to his In Between Chair and In Between Table, both made in conjunction with &tradition.
“We love the mix of classic woodworking techniques and modern machinery,” notes &tradition Brand Manager Martin Kornbek Hansen. “Intrinsic to our own concept is merging the past with the present. So this design, with its simplicity and beauty, is truly emblematic of our own angle on design.”
For Kallio, “The bar stool uses woodturning and special veneer techniques in a way that makes the structure sturdy yet surprisingly light. So it blends into a space without taking up too much space. I wanted the bar stool to fit comfortably into any setting – just like the person sitting in it.

Established in 1997, Cult (formerly Corporate Culture) formed to provide not only exceptional designer furniture, but also a high level of customer service, a combination not yet experienced in the Australian marketplace.
In his endeavours since then, company founder and director Richard Munao has built one of the most comprehensive collections of brand partners in Australia and New Zealand. Cult has grown from its first location in Sydney to now include showrooms in Melbourne, Brisbane and Auckland as well as distributors in Canberra, Adelaide and Perth.
In addition to founding Cult, and supporting strong international partners like Fritz Hansen, Carl Hansen & Son, &Tradition, HAY and Gubi, Richard is actively involved in discovering and mentoring emerging Australian and New Zealand design talent. As founder of Cult’s Design Journey Competition, which began in 2004, Richard gives designers throughout Australia and New Zealand the opportunity to have their designs prototyped and put into production.
