I have noticed this stool at 100% Design Exhibition and thought that it looked quite interesting and unusual. I made some notes and decided to to do more research on it.
Catherine Aitken, furniture and product designer, has graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2006 and then successfully completed her course in Royal College of Art, London in 2011.
Description:
Responding to the concept Fade, these stools explore a gradual change in intensity through increasing and decreasing levels of colour and altering the presence of a particular material. Lengths of cotton cord are stitched together and then wrapped to a plywood plate and powder-coated steel base. These unique pieces combine function with visual intrigue.
Materials:
Cotton cord, plywood, powder-coated steel

James is young bespoke furniture company, founded by designer James Harrison in 2006. I managed to speak with James at 100% Design and I need to say he was really friendly and he told me a little bit about his business.
James himself is very passionate about bespoke items and craftsmanship. He says that their pieces reflect their British nature. The team is made up of carpenters and upholsters in the UK
Having a small but dedicated team managing every project allows us to offer a personal and collaborative approach for each client, ensuring that our exacting standards are delivered at every stage of each project. James UK make a conscious effort to responsibly source materials and support the British manufacturing industry in order to minimise our impact on the environment.
I like their style: simple, but special, with a great attention to the details.
