About this piece

The Laihuri Stool is the simplest piece in the collection — a single lathe-turned form in suar wood, finished in natural beeswax. It is made in one session on the workshop's hand-powered lathe by Petrus, the workshop's senior turner.

The form is entirely symmetrical — it can be inverted and used as a small table if placed upside down. At 3.2 kg it is light enough to move from room to room. The suar grain is visible through the clear beeswax; no two are identical.

Made for

A side seat, a bathroom stool, a plant stand, a step in a kitchen. Order a pair for a small breakfast counter or a set of three for a kitchen island.

Weight capacity 90 kg. Interior use. The suar is stable in tropical humidity; avoid outdoor use in rain.

Body — Suar (Monkey Pod)

Single-piece suar form, lathe-turned in the Waingapu workshop. The suar is dried and stabilised before turning. Grain, colour, and natural variations differ per piece. Finished in two coats of natural beeswax.

Finish — Beeswax

Natural beeswax sourced from Sumba apiaries. Applied warm, buffed smooth. Gives the suar a soft lustre without obscuring the grain. Re-applicable at home every year or two.

Frame care

Re-wax once or twice per year. Warm the beeswax slightly, apply with a cloth, buff in circular motion. Wipe up spills. Avoid hot objects on the top surface.

Surface care

The stool has no fabric or secondary material — just wipe with a damp cloth and re-wax as above.
