Richard Lampert extends his range with the Little Tom and Big Tom (bar)stools
Design: Alexander Seifried, 2012
Stackalicious: a tubular steel frame and two or three cushions piled one on top of the other, looking
like a pile of Jaffa Cakes, are the distinguishing features of the new "Little Tom" stool and the two
"Big Tom" barstools, designed by Alexander Seifried. Thanks to the interchangeable covers,
available in both leather and fabric, and due to being available in three different heights, "Little
Tom" and "Big Tom" are comfortable, individually configurable stools and barstools, both for the
home or for contract applications.
High, higher, "Big Tom": as a footstool or stool, "Little Tom" goes well with the "H 57" easy chair by
Herbert Hirche. The slightly lower one of the two barstools allows for comfortable seating at
worktops and breakfast bars in the kitchen and, in its 80 cm-high version, "Big Tom" is one cool
barstool. The black tubular steel legs are complemented in the bar version by a chromed annular
foot rest – an eye-catching combination.

At the age of eight, Alexander Seifried wanted to become a geologist but, due to a lack of rock
formations in his neighbourhood, he embarked on several 'wild' internships in the local rural area.
At the age of 19, he completed his training as a cabinetmaker, winning the second prize of the
joinery guild. This was followed by a business administration training at 3F Design (Eckhard Renz
and Helga Renz-Kramer, Stuttgart), focusing on the interior and furniture design business. In 1999,
he set up UnternehmenForm and, only two years later, he presented his first furniture collection at
the Designers' Saturday in Stuttgart. Since then, Alexander Seifried has developed designs for
Elmar Flötotto, Magazin, frauMaier and Richard Lampert. Additionally, he has extended the
UnternehmenForm brand to include a specialist retail business for high-end contemporary furniture
and interior accessories.
