Why Stool

The Why Stool is the elevation of classic Sri Lankan form and material into a piece that is both elegant and functional. Sleek wood and rattan creates a comfortable seat that is also pleasing to the eye, while the brass foot rail adds a subtle element of elegance. Ideal for spaces with a modern aesthetic that still retain their old world charm!

Timbers

Our timber is responsibly sourced (for example through the State Timber Corporation in Sri Lanka) which ensures quality and environmental responsibility. Our timber finishes are carefully chosen to elevate the sensual experience in each piece of furniture and we are proud to say that our finishes are certified as being harmless to you and the environment all the way from production, use and disposal. We have chosen the best finishes developed for specific environmental conditions such as indoor, outdoor and semi-outdoor.

Rattan

Rattan gives the impression of breathability and a nature-enhanced lightness to our furniture. Producing rattan out of locally grown cane is a definition of sustainability; totally renewable, our workshops support local craft culture and economy whilst incorporating tradition and artistry into our work.

Metals

Metal brings a sense of reliability, as well as contrast between natural materials and textures. Where you find brass, steel, or stainless steel in our designs, we prefer a natural feeling finish. If you enjoy colour, we can match to the international RAL system; please speak to one of our team for more information. We are proud to say that our metal finishes are certified as being harmless to you and the environment all the way from production, use and disposal.
