The “Sylvan Stool” derives its name from the Latin word “silva,” which refers to the state of a forest, often used to describe the beauty and tranquility of the woods. This stool is designed to embody the emotional qualities of “calm” and “lush.” The “calm” aspect is particularly evident in the seat, where design principles such as balance and repetition are combined with a mix of straight and curved lines. Using a chamfer technique on the bottom edges minimizes sharp corners, further enhancing the sense of “calm.”

The legs of the stool, on the other hand, emphasize the “lush” quality, inspired by the organic forms of tree branches and twigs, creating a more natural ambiance. The branching design adds aesthetic value and considers durability and comfort, as it strengthens the stool’s structure, making it more comfortable and long-lasting. For the finishing, I’ve chosen earth tones with a smooth texture to implement a sense of tranquility.
