Furniture for Profusion exhibition, by Martino Gamper, June 2010
In June I worked with Martino Gamper to create furniture produced on-site at Calke Abbey in Derbyshire, UK.
The images below describe the process of making the stools for the exhibition.
We took felled timber from the estate grounds and, where it fell, cut it into multi-facted stools using a portable sawmill.
