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 -ME

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](mailto: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, Mike Mrnka

Where can I buy your stools and how much are the multicolored ones with flat base not the x base? Do you have it in white how much is it? Lorlina

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

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.

Please send me an email addres and I will send details of what I would like to buy Thanks Alan Hay

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.

If you get this message Susan, please accept our condolences. I worked with Philip back in the late 80’s at Citibank Leasing, and Philip was a friend and mentor. As is usually the case, we lost touch, and I thought about him the other day. My google search led me here, and I’m so sad to hear of his passing. I imagined him to be retired in Bequia.

Does anyone know if any of the Kenetics folks are still at Haworth? I used to have a business down the street from them on Carrier drive, and I had sponsored their hockey team. Regards, Ron

I met Philip when he first designed the stool. He gave me one as a present. At that time I think it was made by Bent Tube ? He helped me on the interior design of my recording studio project. Went on to live in San francisco. Lost touch. Had hoped to make contact after all these years,only to learn of his passing. I am sad.

Can these still be purchased some where?

Hi I have two of the K700 light grey forsale/tx

I am also sorry to hear of Philips passing. I was a design student of his in Fredericton in ’77. A Zee stool appearing at my place of work made me think of him. Great laugh! Would love to own that stool…hmmm.

Thank you to those who passed on condolences! Philip was a larger-than-life, warm, creative man whom I miss very much. The stool is his legacy. I’m proud to have been his sister! [tsreynolds@sympatico.ca](mailto:tsreynolds@sympatico.ca)

I have just acquired 2 paper clip stools, the seats are not metal but look like some sort of composition that sit on a chrome base. The stools are obviously very old, and have fairly flat chrome (only slightly domed) caps to the end of the tubes. The seats are yellow and have lots of circular indents in the top (the circles form the shape of a hexagon). The stools are very good quality. The seat is attached to a square metal plate which is welded to the tube base, the tube is one piece. Can anybody tell me if these are original or early ones? Thank you.

Selling these thick hollow tubular steel chrome finish laidback chairs which look similar to the Paperclip stool of Kinetics Haworth but unknown designer and Haworth website replied they do not have any like these <https://twitter.com/iomediavideos/status/417001167584239616/photo/1> . Does anyone know who designed these chairs so I can add that info as a selling point online?

Hey there I was shocked to find out about the Phillips passing so many years later? I see many people wanting k700 stools…I HAVE A PAIR! in polished steel for sale Contact [innercitypicker@gmail.com](mailto:innercitypicker@gmail.com)

Good Morning: I realize this discussion forum is several years old. I do have 2 K700 white bar stools in excellent condition. I am looking to sell them. I am located in Burlington, Ontario. If this is something you are looking for do not hesitate to contact me.

If anyone is looking for 4 of these chairs in chrome I have them – bar height.

Good evening I’ve recently stumbled upon 4 of the chrome of the table stools. They appear to have National Film Board inventory tags? They are all labeled “FORM”, “An Anthony Scalini Design” & “Manufactured In Canada By Form Canada”. Seldom is FORM mentioned as the original manufacturer. Also, could anyone comment on Anthony Scalini as the designer vs Salmon-Hamilton.

Hi there. I have the tall cream coloured ones. Willing to sell the pair for a reasonable price as there is visible wear. Contact Giselle at [gtvarga1@yahoo.ca](mailto:gtvarga1@yahoo.ca)
