Flump Stool

Named for a British term meaning a relaxed, slouching posture (as well as a marshmallow sweet treat), the Flump stool puts a quirky spin on reclaimed ocean plastic and illustrates how production processes can and should change in the coming decades. Born of material research by physical-digital design studio Heirloom (a collective recently founded by like-minded creatives Jack Godfrey Wood, Harc Lee, Tate Sager and Andy Furner) in partnership with Eindhoven’s The New Raw, each stool is 3D-printed robotically using a single filament of molten recycled resin that spirals upwards from the base and finishes at an integrated handle. It’s signature kinked shape tilts the seat forward ever-so-slightly for comfort while also providing a ledge for feet. 

Flump Stool

Intended for longevity – to become an heirloom piece, if you will – Flump embraces the potential of post-consumer waste, digital craftsmanship and new manufacturing techniques in a truly wonderful way. It is currently available in four unadulterated off-pastel hues and two sizes, with aluminum, cork and stainless-steel versions to follow. Debuting at Alcova during Milan Design Week, Flump encapsulates Heirloom’s two main values – prioritizing both the past and future value of a material and joyous irreverence.
