The Mudlark Chair

Encapsulating the eclecticism of London, each unique, statement chair is made from London Plane trees brought down in storms at Soho Square and Denmark Hill, anodised aluminium scaffold frames and 3D printed rocks from the Thames foreshore.

A constant cycle of demolition, reimagining and rebirth, this chair brings together and reimagines three disparate elements of London’s urban fabric. The 3D printed rocks represent the rubble of London’s past, the new and ancient detritus washed up on the Thames beaches. The scaffolding is a permanent feature of London’s streets with buildings in a constant state of flux whilst the trees, those flashes of green against the grey skyline, offer relief from the stone and brick expanses of the city.

Entirely manufactured in London. Only 20 made.
