II AKIN

II AKIN

II Akin is the next iteration in the Akin series which seeks ways to give surplus fabrics from furniture manufacturing new significance and purpose. Building upon the foundation of I Akin it pushes the creative boundaries in a new direction. Incorporating design features in a more playful way and evolving an emotive element.

This second generation in the Akin series is available as a limited edition of 12 pieces, each signed and numbered. Mindfully the velvet and mohair fabrics are cut and sewn together to make the most of the scarce material. With every fabric cut responding to the previous one, each stool becomes a distinct and unique piece. 


“There I stood, in a furniture workshop and in front of me rolls of fabric stacked upon each other. These were no ordinary materials. Velvet, boucle and mohair, the finest quality weaves for upholstery. From bold colours to understated hues these fabrics were leftover from previous commissions and were now surplus materials destined to be donated. As I sifted through the rolls, a question began to form in my mind: how could I give this valuable material a new life? As I pondered this question, an idea began to take shape.”
