The stool is made of seaweed and used paper. As as result of the chosen process there is no need for glue or other additives. Firm heating and molding methods bring out the natural binding properties of the seaweed. The result is a strong structure, yet with a soft, light touch.

The final material contains parts of the seaweed so that the origin and natural colours of this intricate materials remain in sight, and become a part of the natural design itself.
