Objects

Beetle Stool

BEETLE STOOL, 2021
Heat treated stainless steel
38 cm x 38 cm x 42 cm

The Beetle Stool is an ode to the wondrous creature that attracted the designer into nature. From a combination of material experiments and the need for a multifunctional stool for his own use, Daan De Wit designed a stool with subtle details of a beetle.

Three legs and a seat were individually extracted from a stainless steel sheet, then folded, welded and polished. Finally, they were heat-treated to extract the color from the material. These polished colors and beetle-like shapes make the designer dream back to those days as kid.

STRATUM SAXUM COFFEE TABLE

STRATUM SAXUM, 2020
Table
Bamboo, glass
ø 120 x H 70 x 35cm

The Stratum collection is based on a material conscious technique that allows to create objects with as little material as possible and an almost wasteless result. By cutting sheet material into concentric layers and assembling them by hand, the designer obtains hollow, conical and organically shaped objects which are handmade in his studio. They are produced in small scale and mostly on demand. This process prevents overproduction.

The Stratum collection is based on a material conscious technique that allows me to create objects with as little material as possible and an almost waste-less result. By cutting sheet material into concentric layers and assembling them by hand, I obtain hollow, conical and organically shaped objects which are handmade in my studio. They are produced in small scale and mostly on demand. This way, there will never be an overproduction.
