found/Founded creates the new KNOT Stool with flat surfaces throughout the entire structure. It is made up of layers of wood that come together to create a brutalist aesthetic. At the base are two slanted legs that support the seating and weight.
The three wooden pieces that make up the chair can be painted in the same tones or in different colors. It is held together by a decorative webbing strap that can be seen wrapped around the legs -- this can come in complementing or contrasting colors, with the option to be made in different materials as well. It boasts a playful look and offers a more decorative purpose to a space than utilitarian one.
