Stool Metal Upcycled Boiler Grey and Red Handcrafted by Marta Torrent

About the Item

Upcycled Boiler part metal stool by Girona-born designer Marta Torrent. In the “Urban Mines” project, Marta Torrent and her team identify and collect materials discarded in urban areas such as metals, plastics, textiles and electronic components. These materials are considered “urban mines” due to their potential to be reused. The collected materials undergo creative transformation processes, becoming products of innovative design. This includes the creation of furniture, decorative objects and art, among others. "Urban Mines" is based on the principles of circular design, seeking to close the life cycle of products. Every stage of the design and production process is planned to minimize waste and maximize reuse. The resulting products of "Urban Mines" are not only functional but are also high-quality objects made from discarded materials. Marta Torrent Boix, product designer and maker, currently lives in London where she has created this project, combining her passion for handcrafted metalwork with a sustainable perspective. Using a photographic archive, she documents the growing problem of electronic waste and explores its reuse. The exhibition culminates with her participation in the Entorns artist residency.

Stool Roman Travertine Biege Contemporary Handcrafted Kahn by Sanna Völker
By Sanna Völker
Located in Barcelona, ES
New Handcrafted Stool Kahn is made from Roman Travertine Stone by famous Barcelona-based designer Sanna Völker. Kahn is a piece of brutal delicacy, a tribute to the design philosophy of the 20th-century architect Louis Kahn, and a recognition of the architecture that shaped his work. It is a journey back to the ancient monuments of Egypt, Greece and Rome, an expression of history, craftsmanship and nature. The stool is created in Roman travertine by a family of master stonemasons who have developed their craft for four generations. Selected from a quarry begun in 1880 and located in a small mountain village in the province of Barcelona, the material used for Kahn is taken from the same block of stone used to sculpt the angels of the Sagrada Familia church. The Kahn stool...
