I’m a ‘fan’ of green design

Sit on the Stool Zero and that’s the closest your bum will ever be to a fan (or so I hope!). It’s true though! The Stool Zero is made out of completely recycled parts, some of which are fan-covers! Look carefully and you may just spot the brilliant way in which the Stool Zero makes use of spare and unwanted product parts. The seating platform is a pair of fan-covers, beautifully decorated with wire insulation (brilliant!). The legs of the chair are repurposed from stripped down wooden crates.

Aside from the recycling bit, I really can’t ignore the brilliant craftsmanship! Each component has been re-envisioned brilliantly so that nothing looks out of place. It is only on closer inspection that you see that it isn’t just a good looking stool, it’s applaud-worthy design thinking!
