Multifunctional beach furniture.
“The Sand Castle Stool is in response to the need for lightweight, portable, beach furniture. By basing the design on the sand castle bucket, we have created a playful solution which is durable, stackable, acting as storage for your other beach items, but more importantly, creates sandcastles!”. The Sand Castle Stool is a prototype in search of a manufacturer. One of several items seen at DesginFront04, a contemporary design show held in Southend-On-Sea in the UK. Other items included Anne Barrell’s photo tiles, BakeBean’s wine rack shelf, Block’s lit vase, Complice furniture, Jason Taylor’s brush bench, Multi’s bone china lighting, and Waldegrave Sweet’s vases.
