Transformative Repair Work_

The Sign Stool, and Sign Bench are fundamentally sustainable pieces of furniture design. Constructed from re-used road signs, the rubber feet and rivets are the only new materials used in the manufacturing process, so the burden placed on our natural resources is lessened.

The re-used road signs used to construct the Sign Stool and Sign Bench come complete with all the characteristics of their previous use, including colourful vinyl labels and the odd evidence of their life by the roadside. This not only provides character but tells the life story of this road sign, serving its public duty on the freeway.

This more archetypal version of the Sign Stool was developed for manufacture on a larger scale than the previous incarnation, aiming to make this brand of sustainable design accessible to a larger audience.
