One of the best new things I saw at BKLYN Designs over the weekend was Uhuru Design’s Stoolen chair. Reminiscent of a tree stump, this awesome cylindrical seat is actually composed of recycled wood scraps held in shape by a pressurized aluminum bicycle rim (also recycled of course). The whole chair is 100% recycled – and manages to be as beautiful and evocative as it is environmentally friendly.
The Stoolen is available in a couple different sizes and types of wood.
I like them
I can think of lots of uses.
I think they’d probably work better as end tables than seats, they don’t look entirely comfy. But I love the idea, simple, and they look great!
Brilliant guys!
That’s cool! I love your chairs!
