A Practice in Seeing is an ongoing furniture collection that questions the relationship between the material and maker; it proposes that we allow the material to dictate what it should be rather than the decision being up to the maker, aiming to create a more sustainable culture of craft.
Working with slab lumber was crucial to this project and this first piece, Arrowhead, was designed around an off-cut slab of Pennsylvania Walnut. Every decision was dictated by the natural form of the slab and designed to uplift its inherently unique qualities. No end goal was determined beforehand, through the process of looking at the slab its shape and size determined its end form as a stool.
