In Mariner’s Stow, reclaimed wood, brass, and marine fiber come together with intention; to rethink the entryway through materials that are living beyond their pasts.
This project began as a creative response to the problem of misplaced books, a temporary storage solution for readers on the go. As I ideated, I realized that it could be an exploration of sustainable design too.
Crafted from reclaimed cherry wod and materiadiscarded fishing industry textiles (such as sail cloth, and Nylon Netting), the piece functions as both a catchall and a companion for the home’s entryway.
Furniture design is still largely linear: extract, produce, discard. Even sustainably branded furniture often relies on virgin materials shipped across the globe. Meanwhile, beautiful, high-quality waste is piling up in scrapyards, mills, and oceans. I imagined Mariner's Stow as a fascinating way to pay homage to materials and lifestyles that are still full of adventure.
