This Smock Stool is a smaller version than the original, ideal for a perch, little bedside table, or footrest. The seat is upholstered in wool, with the body made from a contrasting silk blend sourced from dead stock fabric, containing over 3000 hand stitches and stuffed with loose organic wool to create soft bulges. The smocked panels ripple and swell like piped icing, fluid and entirely unique to each piece.
Stitching has long been a quiet act of resilience, used as a tool for survival, repair, protest, and preservation. Through the stitch, generations have recorded memories and passed down knowledge. Amidst rampant mass production, these works are a deliberate return to slowness. They ask us to consider the stories held in thread and intergenerational making traditions.
