Wabi Stool

Designed by Rúben Silva

Curated for Studio Silva

The Wabi Stool is a striking piece that celebrates handcrafted design in its purest form. Built entirely from solid oak wood with a matte oil finish, it features a meticulous handwoven detail in Danish cord and an upholstered seat in jacquard fabric — adding texture and comfort to the piece. A harmonious blend of textures, natural materials, and traditional techniques, Wabi honors the beauty of simplicity and the enduring value of craftsmanship. With a discreet yet sophisticated presence, the Wabi Stool evokes the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi — the beauty of imperfection and natural simplicity. The contrast between the delicate weaving, the textured fabric, and the solid wood creates a balanced piece, ideal for both contemporary and more organic interiors. Versatile in function, it can be used as a stool, a side piece, or a sculptural element within the space. The production of the Wabi Stool reflects a continuous commitment to sustainability. The oak wood used is sourced from responsibly managed forests, and the matte oil finish is free of toxic solvents, enhancing the material’s natural beauty while respecting the environment. The Danish cord is both durable and biodegradable, and the jacquard fabric is carefully selected for its quality and conscious production. Each piece is crafted with longevity in mind and a focus on minimizing waste, honoring low-impact, artisanal production methods.
