Ryan Frank

My final spotlight is on East London based South African born furniture designer Ryan Frank. In asking around if anyone knew a good 'carpenter', a friend of mine, who's linked to Ryan through the Burning Man community (and projects), suggested I make contact. What a treat to discover Ryan is a very talented and well established, free-range furniture designer. Materials used to create his unconventional, unique and functional range of eco-sensitive furniture objects are often reclaimed, recyclable and of a sustainable nature.
The featured product is Ryan's Isabella Stool made from Strawboard (compressed straw) and wrapped in soft 100% felted wool. Love the colours!
