Inspiration
In Newfoundland, a "bridge" is an uncovered wooden platform at the door of a home. Often referred to outside of the province as a “deck” or “patio,” bridges are the connection between a door and the ground. They facilitate movement but are also informal gathering places – the perfect location for a boil-up or to enjoy friends’ company in the Fogo Island sunshine.The Bridge Series by Swiss designer Anthony Guex has human-scaled proportions and fits into urban lofts as easily as the salt box houses of outport Newfoundland. The contemporary collection presents an appreciation of the ‘super normal’ with quiet aesthetics that prioritize utility and tranquility desirable in modern life. Connecting past to present to future, each piece features wide horizontal slats inspired by Fogo Island’s vernacular structures.
An enduring essential, the Bridge Stool is perfectly proportioned and sensibly designed. The handle cut-out is an important detail that provides a simple solution for the demands of a busy household. It makes the piece easy to pick up, reconfigure, and tuck away, as required.
Fabrication
Made using ethically grown and regionally sourced birch by our craftspeople in the Fogo Island Woodshop. Available in a range of finishes including hand-rubbed Danish Oil which creates an amber rich depth and White Oil which neutralizes the amber tone for a raw matte look. Both absorb into the wood and richen the grain. A variety of coloured painted lacquers are available. Custom colours, sizing and stacking chairs are available on request.Bridge Stool
