The Roly-Poly Stool / Raw hand-painted was originally created for Faye Toogood’s ‘Drawing Room’ installation at D-Museum in Seoul, South Korea in 2019. Each of the 4 stools evokes memories of abstract elements of an English country house and is completely unique. A graphic linear piece, this tapered pedestal stool grows out of a wide base. It is manufactured as a continuous form in raw layered fibreglass.
This product is meticulously handmade by master artisans one piece at a time. It is therefore quite difficult, if not impossible to make identical items. Any natural blemishes or irregularities should not be misconstrued as flaws. These are what make each handmade piece unique.
