The Bakery Stools
This project explores the opportunity to work with Big River bakery, a community driven social enterprise in Newcastle. The aim was to consider how a collection of seating could reflect the bakery and well suit its existing interior. The result was a series of stackable stools inspired by Big River Bakery. The steel stool takes inspiration from the stottie, a flat round staple of North-East bread making. The wooden stools can be drawn together with their legs neatly neighboured, a reference to the connection of community baking.

The metal stools were both inspired by the stottie and aimed at suiting the environment of the bakery, therefore the colours of the existing seating inspired the choice of powder coat
