The STUMPT™ stool embodies a repurposed, recycled design with materials that honor their most intrinsic form and element. The wood in the stool has a story, a life…a trail that stretches around the globe. Each stool is inherently unique. Sculpturally, the basic form of each stool is elemental, organic and elegant.
The original STUMPT stool started as a conceptual art piece with a sustainable and political spirit. During the first production run (a series for Nike) it became apparent that the painstaking process was both inefficient as well as obscured much of the surface story the pallet wood had to tell. STUMPT II began to streamline the process and the redesign not only showcased the pallet wood in a way that revealed the nail holes, gauges and "historical patina" but also allowed multiple stools to be strategically nested in order to create a bench. This geometry includes one face with an undercut and the rest of the faces drafted. A "knothole(s)" allows for transit.
