Enzo

01/September/2009

Enzo’ a felt-free version of the celebrated ‘Isabella’ stool, spices up this now in-demand range. Constructed from a solid section of spruce wood the stool represents a more budget rugged option, while keeping the same iconic shape.
Spruce is a certified European softwood sourced from managed forests, ideal for heavy-duty usage. The fun and functional stools can be stacked on top of each other when not in use creating the trademark totem pole structure.
‘Enzo’ comes in a selection of natural wood stains, boasting a range of bold and earthy colours.

To promote the new colour range, Ryan will be hosting an organic’ staining workshop on Thursday and Saturday the 24th & 26th of Sept in the yard area of 93 Feet East.
Live on stage the designer will be showcasing the purpose build ‘Scuff-o-nator’ – a contraption allowing the designer to blotch, blemish, scuff and stain a limited number of ‘Enzo’ stools with a range of vegetables, spices & herbs.
