‘Lapis’ Stool

There is an increasing trend towards grounding or earthing, which has proven to be highly effective in decreasing cortisol levels, ultimately resulting in a significant decrease in anxiety and negative thoughts. Ongoing studies have suggested that sitting in a chair, often seen as a passive act, leads to poor posture with slumped shoulders and twisted feet, leaving us dependent on the chair for support. However, by embracing the idea of sitting closer to the ground, we are able to stay actively engaged and continuously aware of our surroundings, simultaneously calming our minds and soothing our nerves. This almost primitive move away from chairs and towards the ground has the potential to completely transform the way we think and see the world around us.

‘Lapis’ takes inspiration from the low stools commonly used by our ancestors. Built using locally reclaimed wood and bent steel legs, ‘Lapis’ embraces the natural signs of use. It grants the opportunity to reconnect with our roots and find solace in the simplicity and authenticity of a bygone era.
