Rattan series
1961
“I have always been intrigued by new materials, and in
1954 had the chance to try weaving rattan. For the first
time I wove a basket of rattan. Turning it upside down I
thought it looked like a stool. Inspired by this, I drew the
first sketch of a rattan stool, adding a curve to the form
to make it more interesting. This was the first sketch of
the Mushroom stool.”
