And they return...






After years of development, and re-development I am now producing the STUMPT stool as an on-going line. Been in negotiations with some "outlets" who are interested in carrying the stool and selling them through their companies. Hopefully, something will work out soon.

The stools, which are patterned from the 2.0 version differ in material mostly, as well as having a subtle but useful addition, too. Where the original, and version 2.0 were comprised of found pallet wood, the production line version (I'm still thinking about what 'version I'll call it) is made from FSC plywoods and veneers and have hand rubbed stains and finishes. For now there is a birch, white oak and walnut version that come in various finishes: natural, "driftwood" (graywash), and "charred" (blackened). The "subtle" addition to these models are a smaller, but similar shaped, "knothole" which facilitates picking up and moving around. There is still one of the faces that is slightly undercut, which allows for multiples to be nested into a cluster or even a bench...
