AKIN

A stool made of oak frame and has an upholstered seat made of velvet and mohair.

Akin is an exploratory project that seeks creative ways to give surplus fabrics new significance and purpose. This stool is the first iteration and symbolises the starting point of a creative journey. It plays an important role in defining the project’s initial direction and future possibilities.

Materials:

American white oak.

Surplus velvet and mohair.

Off-cut foam, wool and underlining.

Off cuts of oak set against a white wall.

During the making of the stool, all off-cuts were documented and stored. It is a way to gain greater understanding of what happens to materials during the making process.
