These stools showcase the unseen carbon impacts of processing, transporting, and disposing of materials. They represent a different reality, achieved through using local materials, avoiding over-processing, and enabling longevity through repairable glue and strong joints. This is further strengthened by encouraging emotional attachment through the appearance, lengthening their lifespan and keeping the embodied carbon locked in for longer. This collection of wooden stools challenges expectations through the visualisation of how our design choices affect the carbon footprint.
