Description from the seller
The side table is designed from one simple idea: no one has to stand alone.
The four individual legs together carry a single round top. Each leg has its own place, shape and wood grain, but only when the pieces 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 shape 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.
Draagkracht is designed by Studio à la Part and, with professional guidance, hand crafted by makers who are building their place within society and on the labor market. The furniture 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. Thus, every sold stool literally provides carrying power to a future project and gives a new maker the opportunity to gain experience, confidence and craftsmanship.
