Udon Stool

Project Info

As a young boy Mikkonen was fascinated by woodgrain and knots. He would look for knots near each other and create faces and other shapes.

With the Udon Stool, Mikkonen has matched the uniqueness of woodgrain with a very unique aesthetic. The stool consists of five parts, all CNC routed with a 2D CNC machine. The holes for the legs were also cut out with the CNC router and the legs were then added by hand.
