Description from the seller
Side table "Carrying Power"
The side table is designed from one 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 it is only when the parts come together that a sturdy and usable whole emerges. In that way the design symbolizes what people can achieve when they are given space, guidance, and the trust 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 embodies growth and resilience: a natural material that takes time to become strong, and in which every grain tells its own story.
Carrying Power is designed by Studio à la part and, under professional supervision, handcrafted by makers who are building their place within society and on the job market. The furniture is not made out of pity, but out of talent, collaboration, and the conviction that good craftsmanship can emerge when people are given a fair chance.
The net proceeds of this auction will be used for new materials. Thus, every sold stool literally provides carrying power to a next project, giving a new maker the opportunity to gain experience, confidence, and craftsmanship.
