Draagkracht solid oak side table designed by Studio à la part, model Draagkracht, 40 cm diameter and 35 cm height, in new condition, dating from 2020+ in the Netherlands.
Description from the seller
Side table "Draagkracht"
The side table is designed from a single simple idea: no one has to stand alone.
The four individual legs together bear one round top. Each leg has its own place, shape and grain, but only when the parts come together does a sturdy and usable whole emerge. In this way the design symbolizes what people can achieve when they are given space, guidance and the confidence to participate.
The round form has no beginning, no end and no privileged position. Everyone takes an equal place within the same circle. The solid oak wood embodies growth and resilience: a natural material that needs time to become strong, and in which every grain tells its own story.
Draagkracht is designed by Studio à la part and, under professional guidance, handmade by makers who are building their place within society and on the labor market. The piece is not made out of pity, but out of talent, collaboration and the belief that good craftsmanship can arise when people are given a fair chance.
The net proceeds from this auction will be used for new material. In this way, every sold stool literally provides carrying power to a future project and gives a new maker the opportunity to gain experience, confidence and craftsmanship.
