Eleonore Floret

This unique stool is part of the Fringe Friends furniture series, developed as part of the “Upcycling Selvage Project.”
The project explores the possibilities of upcycling "selvage," the edges of fabric produced during the weaving process. The selvages are sourced from a name tag factory in the Netherlands. These fringed tapes feature colours that vary based on brand logo designs. Inspired by the unique appeal of this material, the project seeks to transform it into new products and artworks, showcasing its distinctive characteristics in a beautiful and sustainable way.

In this eco-conscious furniture piece, the vibrant fringes are hand-applied to an existing secondhand stool base, offering a playful and sustainable reinterpretation. It extends the lifespan of products by giving them new life, adding texture and colour. This sustainable approach fosters interaction and emotional connection, transforming interiors with a fresh, vibrant aesthetic.

Each stool is one-of-a-kind, assembled by hand in Rotterdam. The base furniture is IKEA's KYRRE stool, purchased secondhand. Its exact age is unknown, but the structure is solid and enhanced with a soft cushion on the seat and textile wrapping throughout.

About the Designer
Maori Kimura explores the expressive potential of materials through playful experimentation with techniques, creating distinctive forms with structural textures and vivid colour. Her designs blend function with artistry, sparking curiosity and bringing refreshing joy to everyday life.

After studying Textile Design at Tama Art University in Tokyo, she worked as a textile and bag designer at ISSEY MIYAKE. In 2021, she expanded her practice to include glassblowing and ceramics in Denmark. Since 2022, she has been based in the Netherlands (Rotterdam and Amsterdam) as MAORI KIMURA DESIGN STUDIO.

This piece was exhibited at Dutch Design Week 2024 in the gallery space of Piet Hein Eek, and later shown at the Nieuwe Instituut's Design Fair 2025 and at Systemiq, an Amsterdam-based sustainability-driven company working on systemic change across industries.

Her work has also been featured in international media, including:
 Dezeen: “Six statement furniture projects by rising stars from the Dutch design scene”
 JAN & JAN Living (April 2025): “Verfrissend design – Meubelmonstertjes”
 RESIDENCE: “Dutch Design Week 2024: These talents caught our eye”
