Plod Stool

About the Item

Plod is a new playful stool that looks to simplify and - at the same time - express its construction. The form of the seat assumes it can be used in a multitude of ways, including as a combined arrangement to create a side or coffee table. The distinct bold form is designed to complement both traditional as well as contemporary interiors allowing for a very flexible piece for the home and gallery alike. Made from 100% recycled paper, the Plod is richly textured in a dappled yet perfectly smooth surface. The benefit of the material is that it has been made from bi-products from another process and improves the sustainable qualities of the product. The most interesting aspect of the material is the way the surface shows the patina and makeup of the paper. It is finished in a way that we can embellish the characteristics of the paper to allow the layering to be revealed. The surface has a very tactile quality, with a mottled quality of laminations combined with a very smooth finish. Due to the process of manufacture and the simplicity of its construction, the stool is able to be produced and assembled at incredible speed. Its assembly of 4 pieces and the distribution of the legs makes it a versatile and robust stool. This allows the stool to be shipped as fully assembled or as flat pack and later put together. The thought was to be able to make a piece of furniture that could be easily transported and distributed with minimal packaging, adding to the energy considerations of its production. All parts being manufactured and finished in East London.

  • Tri-Stool
    By Benni Allan
    Located in London, GB
    Stools are highly-functional, commonly portable objects that navigate the worlds of work and rest. Following these ideas of functionality, Tri-Stool is made from five pieces, interlocking through notches in the seat. A simple semi-circular shape meets a straight edge creating an elegant form, allowing two pieces to be placed together. This form assumes it can be used in a multitude of ways, including as a combined arrangement to create a side or coffee table. Originally created for an exhibition design at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, Tri-Stool is currently exhibited at Modern Art Hire.
