WORKSHOP STOOL
Inspired by a collection of discarded items reclaimed from the back of an East London workshop, I looked to repurpose these components to craft a stool, whilst sourcing materials from nearby manufacturers in the process.
The visual inspiration originated from observing the skyline in Liverpool, where my gaze was drawn upward. Two prominent structures, namely St John’s Beacon and a water tower from the former Ford factory in Halewood, captured my attention. These structures served as the initial reference points for shaping the silhouette of the workshop stool.

Simplifying processes to create a playful workshop stool, concealing each join, allowing the stool to flow seamlessly. The split back legs screwing together, giving an illusion of one solid intersecting pipe passing through the wooden seat, allowing the connected wooden parts to rest flush.
SILHOUETTE
Initially influenced from drawing visual inspiration from landmarks in Liverpool, this is evident when projected from both the front and back of the stool. The solid, straight form is reminiscent of the beacon-like water tower, casting its shadow down onto the ground.
