TRUSS STOOL
Truss stool is a furniture inspired by the structure of a jetty found along the beach of Pointe aux Piments in Mauritius. The legs of the stool mimic the triangular truss structure, while the rectangular seat reflects the walking boards of the jetty. By putting multiple stools together, they become a souvenir of the place.

RECREATING THE JETTY EXPERIENCE
The stool has a low sitting height which as it is a key experience of the jetty.




SHIMMERING QUALITIES
To further deepen the experience, Jatoba wood has been used for the seat as its wood grain mimics the shimmering of sea water.
REPRESENTING CULTURAL DIVERSITY
The jetty is loved by people of different cultures. To represent this diversity, a blend of eastern (Nyatoh) and western timber (Jatoba) have been incorporated into the making of the stool.
