Stump is cut from the green wood of a tree trunk so the surface splits as it ages and dries, giving each piece a unique look. FSC Certified domestic Ash or Maple (depending on availability), sanded to a smooth finish. Pairs with Trunk (footstool or bench).

INTENT
At Kalon Studios, we make every effort to be as green and sustainable as can be. In our efforts to find sustainable solutions to manufacturing, we’ve engaged the newest and sometimes the oldest methods and materials. We’ve used raw materials that are renewable. We’ve finished our woods with an oil we developed that is so green, so-non toxic that it’s practically food grade. We’ve made use of the industries most local to us in our manufacturing. For us, sustainability is defined as having multiple intentions all of which center on the idea of balance, of giving as much as we take, be it through economics, the environment or on the everyday human level. |
