  Where can I purchase the K700 stool? Do you have a telephone number, address or email?

  You can locate a Haworth dealer through the company’s web site: http://www.haworth.com
  Be warned, the colours are a little more subdued these days

  Hi, I’m Philip’s sister. Philip passed away in June 2005. Our family has two of his original red stools and the black prototype. His stools can often be found at Ethel on Queen Street West, Toronto. It’s a retro store. He and Hugh also designed the Z chair to complement the stool.

  Hi Michael, I appreciate you showing the stool here. Just wanted to add that Philip and Hugh won an International Edie (sp?) award for this design.

  I aquired two of these great stools in white atleast eight years ago from a friend who moved to Japan. Love them and I’ll probably never part with them, if I absolutely must, then they will be passed on to one who would appreciate them as much as I.

  These stools are great. I remember sitting on one of these as a child , I was so interested by the fact that it looked as if it should tip over and yet it didn’t. I guess this was my first exposure to the magic of the cantilever.

  This is in reply to comment from Philip’s sister, Susan. I am a friend of Philip from many years ago. I had not heard of Philips passing. It would be greatly appreciated if you could get in touch with me Susan. Murray Forrest at forrmu@shaw.ca

  these are definately unique there are so many stools that are just carbon copies of each other this is a good choice. especially considering that so many people are now not using the dining table so much and are more likely to just pull up a stool to the counter or eat at their sofa.

  Philip was a friend oh so many years ago when he lived in Fredericton. I remember the stools. But he was the consumate artist. Everything he touched became art. We corresponded by mail, remember mail?, and his envelopes were a treat before I even opened them. All illustrated and thickly collaged. Must have given the mail driver, remember those?, a chuckle. A beautiful man, funny, intense, handsome. Of course we lost touch as so many long-distant friends do and I am sorry to hear we will never meet again.

  Can I have a quote for the manufacture and delivery to Brisbane (Australia) of 15 of your K700 stools. Colour: Black. Height: 20cm higher than normal dining chair.
  Thanks,

  I really like the K700 stool. I happened to have 5 pieces and ordered another one. I just received my order but it wasn’t the same craftmanship as the first 5 I have at home, which is made by Kenetics. This last piece cost me $245.00 dollars but it is poor quality. The round piece where you sit was not the same thickness as the other it is thin and the paint is not even. The bottom of the stool is still gray color not even painted properly probably they just painted it once. I am not happy with what was sent to me. Lorlina Szabo Victoria, BC

  [...] weekend we walked to Leslieville from downtown. No biggy. And if we hadn’t scored a fabulous Kinetics 1970s era stool on the cheap, we would have walked home (we took the TTC [...]

  I found four of them in Vancouver, in silver. Found them at two different vintage shops within days of each other – apparently they came out of the old Faces dance club which had about 200 of them (can anyone confirm this?). They’re original and extremely well-made. I used to use them for display purposes at design shows and people would often beg to buy them off me. It’s true that the new ones seem to be of lesser quality and less solid construction.

  Prices vary now. I have seen them for as low as $100 for the shorter version and as high as $2,000. There’s a Chinese Restaurant in Leslieville, Toronto who uses them at their bar. They don’t realize what they have. The restaurant is on the north east corner of Pape and Queen Street E. I’ve been tempted to go in and offer them money.

  I also have 2 black Z chairs designed by Salmon Hamilton. They are also made from bent tubing. I love them!

  Were there any markings on the K700? I just found one in blue. I have no idea if it authentic or how old it is.
