Stool
Long lasting furniture

The wooden retractable stool is proof that simplicity can be both smart and beautiful. Made from only three materials – oak wood, cast iron, and steel – it requires no screws or glue. Everything holds together thanks to the cast iron coupling, which firmly embraces the wooden legs and secures them with a traditional wooden pin locking system.
I was inspired by traditional wooden furniture-making and my fascination with cast iron. I was involved in the entire process – from creating the mold with a negative for casting, through the casting itself, to the final finishing of the iron piece. Besides working with cast iron, I also crafted the wooden components to ensure that everything came together in perfect harmony. Every detail was carefully considered to make the stool not only highly functional but also aesthetically refined and crafted with integrity. Its versatility allows it to serve as a seat, a side table, or a practical step stool for reaching higher places.
Whether it finds its home in a rustic cabin, a modern loft, or anywhere in between, it will always fit right in. This timeless piece connects the past with the present, bringing not only functionality but also a story – a story of materials, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design.
