Wooden stools with knitted upholstery: interior design ideas from Ireland
Knitting is not an easy craft. Knitted accessories fascinate because of the possibilities they offer in form and material. Producing fully knitted seating requires a great deal of time, attention, and enthusiasm. The designer also uses quality traditional materials: wool spun by Laxtons, solid ash legs, and fillings such as coconut fibers, unspun wool, foam, and duck feathers. These avant-garde wooden stools with knitted upholstery combine modernity and tradition.
Decorating ideas for modern seats: knitted wooden stools
The collection "Olann" (the Irish word for wool) includes handmade wool furniture. The wooden stools are immediate eye-catchers in the room and provide warmth and comfort. O'Brien completed a master's degree at the Royal College of Art in London in 2010 and later worked with artisans in the Himalayas to develop knitted products using local skills and resources. Her work explores how knit can shape furniture as well as textiles.
