peter marigold: half full / half empty stools
london-based peter marigold has designed ‘half full / half empty’ for the idee wood stool project. the pieces are made from dying cryptomeria japonica trees which are turned green on a lathe, creating the curved stools, which crack open as they dry. each one is reversible in the sense that they are designed to appear either top or bottom heavy.

Between the land art approach and the Japanese savoir faire for wood there Is a potential for something truely great, in this project the wood can’t be seen for the trees.
Try turning a stool from a tree trunk that won’t crack, now thats a challenge !
I dig. It makes more sense to see all of his work together, then these simple gestures begin to reveal a complex investigation of function and form. nice.
pretentious and dull in equal measure
I think formally it still needs some work.
?????……design?
