Streetwalk by Charlie Davidson Studio
British designer Charlie Davidson recently created a collection of stools for the city of Sunderland. Check out what the designer had to say about the project:
A commission won through an open call for artists from Sunniside Partnership, the acting body in charge of revitalising the Sunniside area of Sunderland. Charlie Davidsons original proposal was for a series of benches that had the appearance of walking. This idea was a direct response to the brief which asked designers to draw pedestrians into the east side of town and the newly furbished Sunniside gardens from Sunderland city centre.
The original designs were too big for the finalized street layout so the designs were developed into a stool module. The final design is cast in a polymer based cement with coloured quartz and marble aggregate.

Trash Cube Pouf by Nicolas Le Moigne
Trash Cube seating designed Nicolas Le Moigne is made from the fiber cement scraps and produced by Swiss manufacturer Eternit.
Known for their popularity in the production of roofing materials and facades, the Eternit company makes strong, durable materials out of cements and fibers. While the end products get whisked away for architectural projects, there is still an awful lot of waste. Designer Nicolas Le Moigne, also from Switzerland, thought about the making recycled stools out the scraps unused from the production phase. Instead of seeing the scraps as trash, he sees each Trash Cube stool as an artistic form with what Abitare calls a “strong, poetic soul that could be part of a collection of Arte Povera artworks”.
