The +52 Wooden Step Stool is conceived to challenge the use of overexploited wood types and make more sustainable choices aesthetically, economically and ecologically. It can be used as a step, somewhere to sit or as a side table. Made in Belgium.
Robinia Pseudoacacia is a shade-intolerant species, typical of young woodlands where sunlight is plentiful and soil is dry. It is considered an invasive species in some areas. Its wood is extremely hard, and in-fact stronger and more durable than oak. Its rot resistance makes it suitable for furniture, flooring, paneling etc. Robinia wood does not require chemical treatment and preserve its beauty for decades on. Today this type of wood is sparsely used for reasons that range from lack of knowledge to fashionable aesthetics.
Each object is engraved to indicate the origin of the material to support an informed relationship between resource, processes and user.
