Grace Prince Held Absence No.6 Low stool - UK, 2025 - AP 1, Edition of 3

About the Item

Painted steam-bent wood. Almost animalian in its expression, this stool is crafted from steam-bent waste wood, rendering each in the edition unique. Below a curved split seat, two roughly-hewn legs are held in composition with a more conventional post. 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 before becoming a material researcher at ETH University design studio Material Gesture under Prof. Anne Holtrop. Prince was selected as an AD100 designer in 2023. Her largest collection to date comes hot off multiple group shows, Salone del Mobile and residencies at Perspective in Kyoto and Numeroventi in Florence, 2024. Prince’s furniture explores the harmonies and tensions inherent in assemblage. The process is a meticulous exercise in reduction and composition, with each element crafted by her hand or in close collaboration with artisans. H46 W38 D33cm

Grace Prince Held Absence No.5 Low stool - UK, 2025 - AP 1, Edition of 3
Located in London, GB
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.

Cast bronze, low-iron glass, iron and polished stainless steel. The bronze cast of a found wood fragment appears held in an assemblage of rigidity and lightness.
