PHILO
Dia. 36cm x H 52cm
Carved and scorched ash stool or small side table
Philo \ concocted noun \ fɪləʊ:
A combining form from Greek, meaning “loving”. A low companion to the Phi console
Peppercorn surface
The inlaid top pattern is real whole peppercorns in a black tinted resin
Scorched
Coopered ash wood carved, flame-blackened, brushed, burnished and oiled
Hidden details
Brass-pinned joints provide visual detail and reinforcement through the scorching process
A bold and sturdy stool designed with the same language and material palette as the Phi console. Philo would work just as well as a standalone sofa arm table in a room shared with the Phi console, or directly paired up to form a slimline dressing table set-up beneath a statement mirror.
The black scorching showcases the ash open wood grain and brass pinning on the underside of the segmented halo is a rewarding detail for curious eyes. The complimentary tones of the black pepercorn inlay provides further visual texture.
