Three Of The Best
These stools are unique.
Three Of The Best
There is five or six of them, but today I can only find five, so either I can’t count, one has gone missing in the move, or there only ever was that number.
Every home should have some as they are so useful.
They are idea for sitting round the dinner table and easily fit in between chairs.
They are as sturdy as the man who stands at the base of an tower of acrobats and are ideal for standing on.
Two or more also make good stands for cutting long pieces of wood.
They are still pretty immaculate too, as they were hand made from oak, in Suffolk by a furniture maker called Julian Ellis around 1980, to match the table that I’m sitting at now.
But Julian didn’t design them! I did! And of all the things I’m proudest of designing it is these humble but oh so useful stools.
January 2015 Update – I’ve just counted properly and they are the Suffolk Six.
