The Harry stool draws its visual language from traditional Japanese joinery techniques and Torii shrine gates
Harry is made from two laminated elements, held together with solid wooden wedges.
Harmonious shapes and fine craftsmanship combine to make a generous stool suitable for many situations.
Year of release: 2009
Designer: Chris Martin
Japanese woodwork and torii shrine gates inspired Massproductions Designer-in-Chief Chris Martin when designing the Harry Stool.
“I wanted to create something in laminated wood, using very simple shapes – to make something three-dimensional from something quite two-dimensional. But I was struggling to work out how to join the seat and the base, because the laminations are quite thin which makes it hard to use glue or screws. In the end, I just used wooden wedges to pin them together – giving the piece a nice tactile feel”, says Chris Martin.
This simple concept led to a charming stool which can also function as a footrest or a side table.
