"When I set out to design a bar stool, it was because I wanted to create something that didn't yet exist - a sculptural piece that, when grouped together, would evoke the look of a chess set. The bishop on a chessboard became my inspiration," Mahdavi shares.
"The original Bishop had a strong graphic presence but felt too specific for broader use, so I reimagined it as a versatile piece - a hybrid between a stool and a side table."
Mahdavi's Project Room #17, Bishop: 25 Years, is a beautiful retrospective that showcases the design's evolution over the years.
The Bishop has transformed into various materials, scales, and functions, spawning a family of designs including the Baby Bishop stool and the Cocktail table.
