Rooted Stool

The Rooted Stool engages additive manufacturing as a means of shaping furniture through volume, continuity, and material presence. Produced using large-scale 3D printing, the piece emphasizes mass as a primary design condition, allowing form to emerge without joints or secondary assembly.

Developed through a direct translation of CAD-based geometries into physical form, the stool retains the clarity of its digital origin while revealing the layered texture intrinsic to additive processes. Color is treated as an integral component of the object rather than a surface application, situating Rooted within Form&Seek’s broader investigation of digital craft, adaptability, and contemporary modes of making.
