ROWAC  ·  STOOL

The stool that does not hide its steel.

You are not giving a stool. You are giving steel that is enough by itself. The ROWAC Schemel Naked Steel carries no decorative colour — a micrometer-thin zinc-nickel coating protects the surface the way the automotive industry protects its most demanding components: invisible, extremely resistant, without any stylistic commentary. What remains is cold-rolled steel in its most direct form. Riveted, not welded — in the construction philosophy that Karl Robert Wagner established in 1909 and that has remained untouched since. A gift for people who understand that less is not a limitation but a decision.

Who is the ROWAC Schemel Naked Steel the right gift for?

For people who need no explanation for why the undecorated thing is the right choice — architects, engineers, product designers, anyone who applies the same logic in their own work: nothing more than what is needed, and nothing less. For someone who looks at a colour and immediately asks: why? And for anyone who understands material honesty not as a trend but as a position. The ROWAC Schemel Naked Steel is not a minimalist statement — it is simply the object itself, without addition.

What does “Naked Steel” mean — is the steel unprotected?

No — Naked Steel means no decorative coating, but not unprotected steel. The surface is treated with a zinc-nickel layer so thin it does not change the visual character of the steel — and so durable it is used in the automotive industry for maximum corrosion resistance. The result: steel that shows what it is, while remaining fully protected under all conditions. Suitable for outdoor use.

What is the difference between Naked Steel and the Blueprint Edition?

Same construction, different position on surface. Blueprint (RAL 5002) is a colour statement — a blue with cultural roots in the Bauhaus centenary, a deliberate visual decision. Naked Steel is the decision against any decorative layer: only zinc-nickel protection, leaving the steel as it is. The right choice depends on the surrounding interior — and what the gift should say about the person giving it.

Can I order the ROWAC Schemel as a corporate gift?

Yes — especially for architecture practices, engineering firms, and design studios that want to give something that will not be replaced in three years and needs no explanatory packaging. Naked Steel is the most direct version of a product with a hundred-year history. For information on bulk orders, find all details in the menu under Business Gifts on charlesandmarie.de.
