Swedish design duo, Mattias Rask and Tor Palm of Glimpt have continued to explore and reflect the culture and craftsmanship of other countries in the ‘superheroes’ stools. This time they have drawn from Vietnamese influences drawing on the artisans’ craftman method to create small bowls by fixing paper thread around rolls of seagrass. The designers have translated this technique into these small furniture pieces. Rolls of dried seagrass have been wrapped around the internal metal frame to create the structural form of the stools, whilst the outside uses colourful threads wrapped around the seagrass. The result are these strikingly bold and vibrant stools that demonstrate the merge between Vietnamese craftsmanship and Scandinavian design.
