The L’Écorce Dining Stool Teak carries the signature of Atelier Pendhapa, founded by French architect Antonin Hautefort and Indonesian architect Ignatio Tenggara. Named after the pendhapa, the open pavilion at the heart of traditional Javanese homes, the atelier treats furniture as architecture in miniature, carving solid wood by hand and pairing it with hand-woven French rattan mesh mounted on a solid wooden core.
This L’Écorce stool is carved from black Javanese teak with an upholstered seat, and can also be ordered with an oak frame. As the first piece of the Arna collection, it sets the mysterious tone for what follows: conceived like a growing shield, its long vertical slits shift with every angle, echoing the strong, protective bark of a tree wrapped around the body of whoever sits on it.
Both architects by training, Antonin Hautefort and Ignatio Tenggara met at the Architectural Association in London while completing their master of Architecture. While Antonin grew up in France, Ignatio comes from Indonesia: their radically different cultural background and their fascination for local craftsmanship motivated them to start a design studio together. Atelier Pendhapa was founded in 2019 with the ambition to dissolve the boundaries between furniture and architecture. They have since been developing projects of various scales from bespoke pieces and interior design to holistic architectural projects all around the world.
