Y Stool by Fukutoshi Ueno from australia

these pieces are inspired by the waterlily upon which the figure of buddha sits in meditation. they are circular in shape with striking colours and shapes radiating from a central point. the upholstery is covered by woven materials. the wood is local thai material – teak or rosewood – or recycled timber, and the twisted legs, requiring high quality craftsmanship, create a distinctive identity of the piece. another significant inspiration were the designs and ambience of the jim thompson house in bangkok, where thai outdoor breezes mingle with elegant european touches.
