Presented by a Kazakhstan designer, the Onyx Stool, a sculptural piece of furniture that embodied the essence of metamorphosis, transformed discarded materials into a timeless design object.
Crafted entirely from locally sourced recycled HDPE water pipes and production off-cuts, the Onyx Stool exemplified a circular design approach that challenged traditional material choices and showcased the transformative power of design. Much like the natural formation of onyx stones over time, this piece represented the journey of discarded materials, symbolizing an alchemical pursuit that elevated the ordinary into something precious, reflecting themes of resilience and rebirth.
Versatile in function, the stool served as both a comfortable seat and a stylish side table, seamlessly blending minimalist aesthetics with practicality. Its monolithic sculptural form featured a sleek black finish with no visible joints, drawing inspiration from the layers and textures found in natural onyx.
The durability of HDPE mirrored the strength and resilience of natural stone, ensuring that this piece not only exuded elegance but also stood the test of time. Weather and chemical resistant, the Onyx Stool was perfect for both indoor and outdoor use, making it an ideal addition to any space committed to sustainable and stylish living.
