This set of stools are made out of European solid walnut with oiled surfaces by Thomas Faller. The design of the seat leaf is glued together like a windmill, which gives the stool four different directions through the wood grain. The feet are connected with finger prongs.

Woodwork from the forest
- • Thomas comes from a family of car mechanics
- • He specialises in furniture and modern interior fittings
- • He is in charge of apprentices in his company
Thomas Faller grew up in Germany’s Black Forest city of Freiburg im Breisgau. At school, he loved the handicrafts lessons where he made gliders and ships out of wood. During his three-year apprenticeship as a joiner, he worked for various companies in his home town, but he also travelled to the Engadin region of the Swiss Alps. A professional exchange programme allowed Thomas to undertake his master joiner diploma in the alpine region, which resulted in him working in Samedan, Switzerland, for 20 years. In 2014, he and two partners founded a joinery workshop named Schwab & Partner which focuses on furniture, interior fittings, antique wood restorations and window construction.

Bathroom
This bathroom was designed, planned and implemented by Thomas Faller together with the customer. It was important that the material came from the Engadin, which made the choice to use Engadin larch with oiled surface easy.
