ram stool is a simple, cheap, easy to produce
and comfortable stool, bringing the beautiful forms
that clay can achieve, and the amazing range of surfaces that ceramic glaze can
offer to a simple piece of interior furniture.
The stool is designed to be produced using the RAM press, a
cheap and easy-to-tool piece of equipment that presses the clay between two mold parts. With
this tool, clay parts can be immediately de-molded, making it a quick and
effective production tool used from small to large scale production.
The three-legged design makes the stool stable on any
surface, and difficult to knock over.
The stool can be picked up with one hand using the opening in the center, making it very portable.
