The forage stool is for creative people who value craftmanship and sustainability. These stools are designed to last a lifetime; growing richer and more characterful with age. This contrasts with how this material could alternatively have been burnt or sent to landfill as a mere by-product of the furniture industry; being too small or irregular for reuse.

Made entirely from reclaimed scrap, these stools present waste as luxurious again; drawing attention to the value of different types of wood and aiming to encourage more awareness of material wastage in the industry. The end-grain seat design utilises even small scraps, and reveals the intricacies of the wood they're made from, with unique colour variations and end grain patterns making each piece one-of-a-kind.

The creative narrative behind the stools is emphasised by a series information stamp which displays details of its design and manufacture locations alongside my initials and year of production, to evoke a more tangible product story and connection between designer, manufacturer, consumer and product. The whole design is tied together by an aesthetic language of circularity; every surface is rounded and smooth, and complements the signature walnut inlay with highlights a unique series number.
