Ooty

Ooty is a simple, quiet, yet robust stool that fits into a wide array of environments. The aim with Ooty was to create a stool that was both visually and physically light and to let the material to take centre stage. Details like edge chamfers and soft triangular shapes elevate the piece. 

Design - SmithMatthias


SmithMatthias was founded by Jack Smith and Gemma Matthias in 2014. The multi-disciplinary design studio applies a rigour and thoughtfulness to create soulful and impactful work. The studio is based in Brixton, a vibrant, bustling district of London.

Driven by the challenge to leave a positive footprint, SmithMatthias’ philosophy takes an exploratory and reductive approach by stripping a concept down to its barest essentials, considering all aspects of form and function and introducing richness through material and craft. Their creative partnership thrives on problem solving to reimagine products with intelligence, innovation, and attention to detail.
