Kalon Studios | Stump Stool – Large

Sitting stool and accent piece cut from a solid block of green wood. In these pieces, simple, contemporary form has been applied to a natural material that will break the form as it ages, making each piece unique. Uncompromising in design and quality, Stump is sustainably made from the highest quality, natural materials in the United States by the finest traditional craftspeople.

The piece is cut from a solid block of freshly cut domestic ash or maple. The surface splits as it ages and dries, giving each piece a unique look. Ring and heartwood details have been preserved and featured on the seat. Like much of Kalon Studios’ work, Stump explores the playful relationship between the inherent variations of natural materials and the precision of contemporary form. All the lumber used is sustainably harvested. No finish has been applied to best allow the piece to develop a natural patina as it ages. These materials were thoughtfully selected to offer a piece with no toxins and no off-gassing, for the environment, the craftspeople and you.
Please note: These pieces are cut from green wood which has not been kiln dried. The timber is fresh cut from the forest and so retains moisture from the living tree. As the piece ages, the moisture dries out, slowly and over time causing it to warp and split. This is an intentional part of the design and what makes each piece unique. The splits do not compromise the structure of the piece in any way.
