Tamart launch new Highgate High Stools Blending modernist geometry with technology for added comfort Discover the new Highgate High Stools at the Tamart Lounge Bar at WAX 2025
The new Highgate High Stool exemplifies Tamart’s dedication to modernist principles and sustainable craftsmanship. Created by Amos Goldreich from his designer parents’ legacy, it harmonises strict geometry with refined softness – featuring a pill-shaped angled backrest, gently curved stile tops and feet, and a naturally dyed leather sling seat.
The Highgate High Stool is an extension to the award-winning Highgate Seating Collection. Available in four versions and two heights for high bars or counters with or without backrests for multiple applications. The lightly padded leather seat, with contrast waxed stitching, is tension-fitted, allowing the comfort to be adjusted and refreshed.
Tamart’s Tension Fitted Seating Tension seating draws on both ergonomics and practicality. It is characterised by its suspended seat and back and has for centuries been used as the basis for many chair designs. However, Tamart’s revolutionary tension seating allows users to adjust the seating by an easy-to-use system.
In order to limit the usual stretching of the leather, it has been backed with natural canvas and both sides are attached to the new tensioning system. This innovative system, fully integrated and concealed within the side rails of the chair, offers the simplest setup possible to enable customers to adjust the seat to the desired tension with an Allen key.
The mechanism not only offers a reset of the seat’s tension, but it also allows users to change the angle of the seat: slack at the back and tight at the front edge for a relaxed position, or tight at the back and slack at the front edge for a more upright posture. The Highgate High Stool is both a classic and clever solution for home or hospitality projects.

Highgate Collection
The Highgate collection includes refined dining chairs, with or without arms and exemplifies Tamart taking its design cues from essential modernist principles with its simple rectangular construction and strict geometric appearance inspired by designs from the 1960s. The contemporary pill-shaped, comfortably angled back and bullnose curved stile tops soften the appearance, while the fine, naturally dyed leather sling-style seat gives the stool a lightness and elegance.
Tamart is a furniture and design brand founded by the London-based architect Amos Goldreich, honouring the lives and work of his late parents, the modernist architects and polymaths, Tamar de Shalit (1932–2009) and Arthur Goldreich (1928– 2011).
The brand celebrates the creative and romantic relationship of de Shalit and Goldreich, both key figures in the modernist design scene in Israel during the 1960s and 1970s, by reimagining and contemporising mid-century pieces designed and specified by them during their careers.
Designs are drawn from and inspired by the vast collection of over 10,000 original plans, photographs, documents, and prototypes discovered by Goldreich after his parents’ passing. Tamart products are skilfully crafted in sustainable materials and fabricated in the UK and Europe.
Since Tamart’s launch in Milan in April 2024, it has gone from strength to strength, establishing a showroom in Shoreditch and growing its furniture families with all their designs currently in production. Tamart has also launched a new light and a series of accessories, all designed from the original archive material. Amos Goldreich commissioned a film, Powered By Love, the recipient of two prestigious film awards, directed and produced by 108.Pictures premiered during this year’s London Festival of Architecture.
The Wax Building is London’s latest epicentre for independent British design brands, located in the heart of Shoreditch, at 4 Garden Walk. Set over four floors, this former Victorian factory for waxing and shellacking furniture has been transformed into a vibrant space for creativity and innovation all year round. Launched in September 2024, Wax Building is now a must-visit destination on the Shoreditch
Design Triangle map during the London Design Festival. All four founding brands – Tamart, Cozmo, Minimalux, LightMass^ (by Raw Edges) – will present new product launches and presentations throughout the building.
