Features

  • Built from robust materials for high-use environments
  • Octagonal pole is meticulously formed from eight bent and welded sheets of steel
  • Substantial weight of 4.8kg

Materials & Dimensions

  • Bamboo Brown model: Electro-galvanized steel with a sand-colored powder-coated finish
  • Non-Directional model: Grade 304 stainless steel with a uniform, non-directional brushed finish. Over time, a natural patina from fingerprints will develop, enhancing the material's unique character
  • As each piece is meticulously handmade and manually coated, aesthetic irregularities may be visible, reflecting the integrity and unique character of the small-batch process
  • Dimensions: W 31.5 / D 31.5 / H 26.3 cm

Care & Maintenance

  • Daily Cleaning: For regular maintenance, we recommend using a soft, microfiber cloth dampened with water or a mild, pH-neutral detergent to remove surface oils. Never use abrasive pads, steel wool, or scouring powders. These will cause permanent scratches and dull the specific luster of the finish
  • Disclaimer: Please note that the use of third-party cleaning agents or chemical coatings is at the user's discretion. Populate cannot be held responsible for changes in surface luster, discoloration, or adverse reactions caused by these substances. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first

Design & Inspiration

Named for the grace of Singapore’s endangered Sambar deer, Sambar 2 defines structural abstraction. It leverages enduring metal fabricated from a single sheet, where the Tembusu lineage remains visible through the octagonal pole—a robust structural anchor between the legs

The Sambar 2 is a low stool of grounded strength and refined form. Its distinctive square seat, shaped by a deliberate folding methodology, recalls a minimalist plinth while retaining the meticulous craftsmanship that defines the Sambar collection.

Echoing the intricate details of its taller counterpart, this piece features eight precise crease lines on its seat. These not only reinforce the metal sheet but also deliver a subtle visual aesthetic, a testament to our deliberate approach to design and material integrity.

Thoughtful engineering defines the Sambar 2’s unique octagonal bar, which serves as important reinforcement. The same component meticulously formed for the Sambar 1’s legs, it creates a visual and manufacturing connection that elevates the stool’s design.
