“Inspired by the playful multi-color patterns on Shaker chair seats, our stool seeks to celebrate the inherent beauty of this basic technique by isolating it as a central design element. By extending the pattern to adjacent faces, new color combinations emerged as a welcomed by-product that enhanced the effect of the pattern and colors. This piece was designed for the Furnishing Utopia project, a week long workshop at Hancock Shaker Museum challenging a group of international design studios to conceive new works inspired by the American Shaker philosophy.”
