“ You know when you get attached to an object? I think most people have possessions that just hold a lot of meaning to them. It’s kind of the pure origin of materialism. Like I think about these pair of jeans I had in my twenties, the brand was April 77, which doesn’t exist anymore, but they were custom guitarist jeans in a fine corduroy with a plectrum pocket and just oozed rock. So anyway, I wanted to make a piece of furniture that you get to relate to in the same kind of way, something that you can have lots of experiences with and that romances you with its simple beauty and perpetual relevance.”

Obvious isn’t always obvious and I know many of us can’t literally picture things in their head so I’ll attempt to bridge that with a quasi visual meditation, if you’ll indulge me, because I haven’t got ALL the photos yet…

Think of entering your home after work or gardening, through the front door and you need to take off your boots and the day, you’re a bit tired, so you sit down on the Straddler SawStool, breathe a sigh of relief and undo your shoe laces, supported and satisfied with a day done…

When the chance to sit down in THAT transition isn’t there, we carry our toil into our hearth.
