Imprint is a combination of a wooden stool and a concrete stool fitting under the wooden stool or vice versa, the wooden stool fits perfectly over the concrete stool.
The wooden stool is made of white oak. The choice of material for the second stool was driven by the intention of creating a volume that would contrast with the idea and feel of nothingness. Concrete is quite the opposite of void…

Shoelace Stool by François AzambourgFrom time to time the French Network R3iLab brings together young designers and French often traditional and family owned textile industries to develop new products which they show at Maison et Object. In 2012 through this network French designer François Azambourg and Société Choletaise de Fabrication worked together to create an amazing stool. It is delivered in a flat pack with a cardboard template which in flatform is wound by a composite strand of metallic wire and polyamide threads. When you unfold the cardboard frame and rewire it with the strand you have your stool form. By plugging the strand into a power source, the composite thread is heated through the wire causing the polyamide to solidify. The cardboard frame then can be removed to reveal a solid strand stool.

Probably Hanes Harms, a German industrial designer who graduated from Wuppertal and the Lodon Royal Academy of Art doesn’t want to be remembered as the designer of the Scum Stool…What’s in a name? I’ll tell you:Both in German Schaum and in Dutch Schuim have several alike meanings : Foam and Scum. Hence the name I presume.
