Sewn stool06. Aug2012
"Sewn Stool is an homage to the archetypal milking stool. The legs are neither joined nor glued to the seat, but are solely held together with a section of rope. The stool becomes structural when the rope is laced through the two surfaces and pulled into tension." - Craighton Berman
Sewn Stool was created for "Once Removed", a collaborative design exhibition in the Noho Design District during ICFF 2012.---
