KIM: Seeing it being developed in the factory, I realised it’s right
for the stool to have a big sibling. They’re complementary but
at the same time quite different as individuals. I like how they
sit next to each other and how the wider plank legs give the right
space between people.
SAM: The metal seat takes Mattiazzi to a new place too – a new
experiment that has some of the qualities of those beautiful
Japanese copper and cypress washing buckets. I guess what’s
next is to see how and where Fronda can live. While imagination
can be played out in its finishes and colours, its application as a
stool and a chair is where my excitement lies.
