Inspiration
In outport Newfoundland, sheds are small, typically wooden structures used to store fishing gear and tools, while providing a space to work. Sheds became a central, informal gathering place where people gathered to share stories, play music, and enjoy each other’s company.The Finefolk series, by Canadian designer Katrina Tompkins, are inspired by traditional three-legged stools. These stools were used as task chair, with three legs made them stable for uneven ground found in a shed, stage, or even outdoors. The collection presents an appreciation of the ‘super normal’ with quiet aesthetics that prioritize utility and tranquility desirable in modern urban life. The Finefolk Chair is study on its odd legs, and ready to provide support as needed.
Fabrication
Made using regionally sourced birch by our craftspeople at Fogo Island Workshops. Available in a range of finishes including hand-buffed Danish Oil, which deepens the amber colour of the wood, 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 lacquers are available.Finefolk Chair
