51 pieces - Made from reclaimed and leftover wood

Crafted from discarded wood, the collection features six distinct pedestals, each showcasing a variety of wood sections and types. Ranging from tropical to pine, the timber is sourced directly from leftover materials collected from previous Studio ACTE’s projects. Bearing the marks of its prior use, the wood is meticulously sanded and recut to minimize waste. Constructed through a dry assembly process, the pedestals are held together by wooden pins and bolts, allowing for easy disassembly and reassembly. The design’s simplicity is highlighted by its focus on three key parameters: height, dimensions, and wood type. This versatility enables the pieces to function as stools, low or high tables, and pedestals.
