Jeff Covey, a self taught designer, began producing commercial and residential projects at his studio in San Francisco in 1996. In 1997 he developed the first prototypes of the Covey Stool, whose ultimate version, originally referred to as the “Covey Model Six Stool”, has been produced since 1998. The Covey Stool is hand-assembled and individually numbered in the United States by Genesis Seating, a company committed to crafting classic, modern design. It is the same company that produces Herman Miller’s line of Eames furniture as well as Knoll Classics. The stool has a subtly contoured seat for comfort and formed steel legs with nylon feet to help protect floors. An acme thread with a Delrin® sleeve allows smooth and easy height adjustment. The Covey Stool is featured in the permanent collection of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
