slot stools project by luke gorden is an exploration into ‘toolless furniture’
the design uses a series of components that can be assembled to form the playful furniture piece.
‘slot stools’ are a pair of knock-down seats than can be easily assembled and disassembled, using four single components; tubular legs, leather fabric, robe and tapered walnut dowels. the design project is an exploration into ‘toolless furniture’, requiring no hardware, or manual in order to be constructed.

the design by luke gordon, builds upon a DIY aesthetic, by using a series of components that can be assembled to form the playful yet contemporary furniture piece. each stool is held together by a tension rope, which interlaces the treated leather which is wrapped around the seat of the chair. the tapered dowels easily slot into the base of each leg, making a bold contrast against the fluorescent orange of the tubular parts.
