This Lecrase Stool is by German industrial designer Friedrich Gerlach<\/a>. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The form might suggest plywood, but it’s in fact made of leather offcuts from the automotive and fashion industry; the carefully-chosen folds not only give the stool its flair, but exploits the material to allow it to support itself.<\/p>\n

“In a world where increasing consumption generates more leftover materials, I see these not as waste, but as valuable resources,” Gerlach told the Maison&Objet<\/a> trade fair. “I find it exciting to work with what’s already there \u2013 designing in a way that anticipates transformation, reuse, or even disappearance.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The stool won Gerlach a 2025 Rising Talent Award.<\/a> <\/p>\n
