The 'Ernest Foldable Stool' is a simple solution to an easy fold-away stool, focused towards functional ernest furniture, assisting with the lack of space and storage in everyday situations. The stool is made of a solid timber (various options) and hinged with steel pins through brass bearings, erected with a simple ‘U’ pin and disassembled simply by its removal. As it folds flat it is easily stored away, allowing those with little storage space to accommodate for their guests or customers with more furniture options.

Sticks & Stone

Product Design - Furniture

Inspired by two elements from a japanese rock garden, I designed and created this outdoor stool with simplicity and sustainability as key objectives. The strong, open, triangulated base uses salvaged Tas. Oak dowel and is fastened using pinned and threaded joinery - no glue is required to flat-pack assemble or disassemble. The cast "stone" seat incorporates recycled rubber crumb for texture and toughness - its solidity and roughness contrasting with the crisp, "airiness" of the base. Tension between the elements creates maximum visual impact for minimal environmental footprint. Ideal for a back patio or garden setting, the seats are available in custom red, blue, grey and white colours, with or without rubber. Matching bar stool, side table and coffee table are also available on request.
