The intentions of this project were three fold:

1: To functionally take cues from the multi-use carpeted 2nd step to the first floor of a home- a useful place to perch for phone calls, change shoes, sit when you have been naughty…

2: To explore the form of the traditional saw horse. The aim to employ both the stance and construction that these utilitarian objects have.

3: To work closely with an upholsterer in the exploration of intentions 1 & 2, paying particular attention to stitch and quilting details.

The stool is made from beech and the bench from oak and both upholstered in Argyll Fabric (85% wool, 15% Nylon) by Jasper Morrison for Bute.
