a Timeless and Comfortable Stool for your Home

We’re excited to introduce you to our Shaker Stools!

Having some classic staples in our collection is important to us because they help you to achieve a more timeless and comfortable home.

The first version of our Shaker Stools came out in 2019. We finished the design of our short Shaker Stool (18” high) several years ago, but the taller version (26” high) was a little more difficult to refine.We designed and built it, put it down for a few years, and revisited it a couple more times before feeling truly settled.

Designing these classic staples is trickier than you might imagine, as it calls for a workflow of building up and breaking down. This refining by removing exercise can be difficult because we have to let go of details that we become attached to.

It often takes rounds of drawing and prototyping before we find the right proportion and scale. These tweaks are generally minor, but when we identify the right formula, it all clicks into place and it’s clear when the design is finished. Though this process can be long, it’s often very satisfying.

We learned that we needed to adjust the joinery to allow for wood movement in a way that enhanced the overall design. Additionally, we were dissatisfied with the size and proportion of the seat and spindles, so we’ve bulked them up resulting in a stool that can visually stand up to larger, counter-height furniture.

We’re thrilled with the outcome and are excited to have both of these stools as mainstays in our collection of goods.

Our stools are finished with a hardwax oil, which maintains the wood’s natural hand feel. When you grab this stool to guide it across the floor to meet you, it will feel smooth and warm to the touch.

We love having several of them floating around our home as extra seating around the kitchen or ping-pong table for spectators (critical, really) and then the short Shaker Stools for bonus seating around the dining table, as end tables or plant stands, etc. We think that their clean design and quality construction make them look at home anywhere!

What do you think? Do you see a place for them in your home?
