JULY NIKARI

JULY is three slices of wood, each a different size, grain, color, and angle, joined into one stool. Like a bundle of logs.

Each stool has its own character. In multiples, they become a gathering of individuals that work together.

I visited Nikari’s workshop in the Finnish woods. The kindness of the people and the care in their making stayed with me.

JULY was designed for PROJECT 2012 DESIGNS FOR NATURE, a collaboration between Nikari and twelve designers, one for each month of the year. A portion of each sale supports forest conservation through WWF Finland. Mine was July.
