Winner of The People’s Choice Award (Combined Category)
The vision for the Grain Stool was to create a high quality, contemporary product robust enough to survive a high contact commercial environment. The stools tops were formed as a single solid sand cast aluminium component, each with its own subtle textural imperfections. The manufacturing and aesthetic coherence was achieved by engaging with casting professionals. The stools form and geometry developed in unison through extensive consultation and prototype testing. Every detail was digitally modelled and refined, producing a profoundly accurate and efficient design. This information was then transposed through a computer guided router, creating the master form used in pressing moulds for casting.
