burnt stool by holger beisitzer from germany
designer's own words:
Burnt stool:
The question is not only how to transform something old and bold into something new: It is also the aim to develop a sensitive and sensible transformation and to create a process that is useful.
In this case an old wooden sleeper from a railway line is transformed into a stool. Therefore the railway sleeper is cut in two pieces. Then a cross is sawed into the top. Now it is useable as a nice fireplace.
After the barbecue the burned ends are cut off: now the stool is ready for the next garden-party.
Because of the fact that the sleepers are made out of oak, the stools are very sustainable and get more interesting over the years.
