Konekt Thing 1 Stool with Polished Brass and Horsehair

Konekt is a furniture and lighting design studio intent on engaging the senses. The studio’s collection of works is brought to life through a thoughtful exploration of materiality, influenced by a wealth of inspirations from historical references to the natural world. Handmade from natural materials that age and patina gracefully, each piece is informed by high-quality craftsmanship and distinguished by an embedded human touch. Unexpected materials like horsehair and chainmail are combined with traditional ones, highlighting the juxtaposition of contrasting textures and finishes. This cohesion creates a balance between opposing characteristics—strength and fragility, solidity and fluidity, refinement and playfulness—embodying Konekt’s signature sensibility. Meticulously crafted by artisans with carefully applied attention to detail, Konekt’s body of work imbues extraordinary quality into every piece produced. Each design is made to order by highly skilled craftspeople in Pennsylvania and the surrounding areas. The sculptural forms that take shape unite both modern and centuries-old techniques to achieve an elevated, contemporary aesthetic.
