Designed in London: Made in Great Britain

By Alex Swain on 21st May 2014

The A Stool is the first of our products to be made in Great Britain. Due to increased demand we are working with a second factory to produce the A Range in Scotland, which is closer to home! We only use FSC certified timber, sourced from responsibly managed forests in Latvia and our packaging is made from recycled cardboard, using vegetable inks for printing.
