I reclaimed the metal tubing from scrap roll cages, then selected and cut sections I liked the shape of and added additional bends to get the flowing organic shape I was after. Also, as I cleaned the tubing up I really liked the polish and grind marks so continued it across the entire chair and to preserve this finish I have used a clear metal sealer and lacquer. The metal balls welded on the feet and arms are from a second hand French boule set (otherwise known as pétanque).
I’m really pleased with this and already have had a lot of interest in the chair. I am already constructing two side tables in a similar style and hopefully more chairs – but each one will be unique!

Here is a photo of ‘The Mini Stool’, it is created from recycled engine parts and found objects including, three Austin Mini camshafts and a Mini Cooper steering wheel. It is the first in what we hope will be a whole range of unique sculptural furniture and will include tables, coffee tables and benches: All bespoke built and always unique!
