Type 25 reclaimed timber stools

A bold fusion of raw industrial history and contemporary minimalism. Handcrafted in Shropshire, these seats are built around a core of reclaimed Ekki timber, encased in vibrant, precision-engineered steel.

The collection highlights a striking contrast between the organic and the man-made. The timber, sourced from decommissioned marine and industrial structures, features a deep, charred texture that tells a story of decades of heavy-duty use. By pairing this ancient, "iron-like" wood with sleek, powder-coated steel, Chris Nangle Furniture has created a functional art piece that is as indestructible as it is aesthetically arresting.

Sustainable Soul, Industrial Skin

Ekki timber (Lophira alata) is world-renowned for its incredible density and natural resistance to decay. Reclaiming this material, prevents high-value tropical hardwood from entering landfills, instead giving it a second life as a center-piece of modern design.

The steel frames don't just hold the wood; they frame it, protecting the grain and providing a pop of industrial color that fits perfectly in a modern loft, gallery, or creative workspace.

Key Features:

  • Authentic Reclaimed Ekki: Sourced from heavy-duty industrial salvage, ensuring every seat has a unique grain pattern and history.

  • Precision Steel Frames: Custom-bent steel available in high-visibility orange, signal red, and other bespoke powder-coated finishes.

  • Built to Last: Combining one of the world’s hardest woods with heavy-gauge steel results in a piece of furniture designed for generations of use.

  • Hand-Finished Details: Visible hardware and charred timber textures provide a tactile, "workshop-chic" aesthetic.

The new seating collection is available for order.
