BABU

An occasional chair inspired by forms in nature

The Babu chair is inspired by forms in nature. Designed and built in harmony with the living form of the wood and allowing a wildness in the final form that echoes the innate character of the tree.  

Handcrafted from Scottish Wych Elm using hand tools.

—BABU

“ BABU carries the essence of a guardian of the forest and celebrates the grace and holding of wood as a material. When creating the piece we observed the many ways branches grow in the woodland. Creating a joinery that was precise yet sculptural, a piece that is carved yet comfortable. Creating a piece that alludes to the idea that something has “grown” and not simply been made. Grown like nature grows its many forms with a perfect irregularity."
