Billy Horn
Billy Horn — 'Array Polar' Table Stool, 2024
$1,750
A small table stool with contrasting textures of rich solid timber, shiny red acrylic, polished stainless steel and a splash of cork. The acrylic seat is bent over all four sides of the stool and fixed to the Queensland Maple legs with plastic mirror nuts. Billy’s little stools are a playful combination of materials including folded acrylic, premium hardwood, soft cork and cheap plastic nuts. Inspired by luxury design, functional furniture and effective manufacturing techniques the stools are the result of many iterations of a particular fixing technique involving three corners of a cube.
