Product description

The Worn Stool is a member of the Worn Series of products made exclusively from recycled clothing and a resin coating. Constructed of two pairs of jeans thrifted from stores in and around Brooklyn, the denim is then coated in EcoPoxy resin and left to harden. The resin coating allows the Worn Stool to maintain its shape without a substructure, making the products very lightweight with the capability to hold up to 450 pounds. Each stool is individually draped, transforming a piece of furniture into a one-of-a-kind work of art.

Concept

Inspired by the parallels between the structure of denim and fiberglass, designer Vedat Ulgen applies a thermosetting technique to pairs of recycled jeans by coating the durable fabric with Eco-epoxy resin, making an otherwise unsustainable practice environmentally friendly. Through trial and error and painstaking attention to the drapery of each piece, Vedat perfected the process of transforming old clothing into durable furniture — and works of art.
