There is something rustically majestic about the Maritime chair and it has very much to do with the fact that it was modeled after seafaring ships. It was created using traditional wooden boat building techniques, as is evident right off the bat do to its aesthetic.

Uhuru Design
A metal version of Uhuru’s signature piece, the Metal Stoolen was created in the same vein, using scraps of steel from Brooklyn area metal shops. Bundled together haphazardly and encased in a ring of longer pieces, the hollow ends of metal form the object’s top. This produces a dynamic pattern filled with highly charged empty space. The effect is like a photonegative of the original Stoolen. The eye-catching powder coating adds to the piece’s sculptural quality and highlights the tension between positive and negative space.
Available in custom sizes and finishes. Hand built to order, signed and numbered by the maker in Red Hook Brooklyn and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
