Wooden Meditation Stool from Burkino Fasso, circa 1950

Painted steam-bent wood, fibreglass and polished stainless steel. A dialogue between heft and poise is keenly felt in this low stool. Each piece retains a unique identity, fabricated from odd sections of steam-bent waste wood – a chance encounter of irreplaceable offcuts. Slim polished steel rods bisect at the base, mirroring the triad structure. The piece is part of Held Absence, Grace Prince’s largest furniture collection to date addressing a long-held fascination with absence and fragility. The pieces develop the designer’s free, gestural approach into six assemblages in bronze, steel and wood. Designed exclusively for Béton Brut, the works emerged from a period spent living in a traditional house just north of Kyoto. The collection is handmade to order in 12 weeks. Grace Prince (born in London, 1992) is a multidisciplinary designer based between Zürich, Milan and London. A graduate of Central Saint Martins, she worked as the assistant designer to Vincenzo De Cotiis...
