Inspired by childhood memories of my grandmother's Chinese ceramic stool, the creation of a series of simple stools within the lime plaster works pays homage to the enduring impact of this seemingly modest object. I vividly recall the irresistible allure of that stool and the way its surface invited touch and discovery, its weight grounding it firmly to the ground yet beckoning to be explored in various ways, including climbing and playing as a child. As I reflect on that cherished piece from many years ago, I now appreciate its versatility and aesthetic appeal in a new light.

These stools exude a quiet elegance, with their clean lines and carefully crafted details. Each piece is a testament to the beauty of simplicity, blending seamlessly into any space while inviting touch and interaction. Their design carries both timeless charm and a sense of nostalgia, effortlessly grounding the room with their presence.

The stools within this open edition series embody a deeper appreciation, blending intricate patterns with a smooth, stone-like surface that calls to be explored. They carry with them the legacy of that beloved ceramic stool, infusing every space they inhabit with a sense of calm and nostalgia.
