The Winnow Stool gets its name from the cane winnow, a curved basket used across India as a means of separating rice grains and also known as a 'supra'.
​
They are also used in traditional Zoroastrian ceremonies called "Madosoros"- where flowers and rice are used in blessings, in which the baskets are passed from one woman to another signifying womanhood.
​
The Winnow baskets are used in India for separating the grain from the chaff, and are an object of utility and beauty. They have a sculptural quality, which was the inspiration behind the Winnow stool.
​
The bar stool seat takes the shape of the basket through a metal lattice framework. To capture the beauty of the weave, created a lightweight framework takes the shape and does not distract from its sculptural nature. 
​
By combining steel with cane, the material choices are a juxtapose between industrial meets nature. The elegant profiles create an object that retains its sculptural quality with a strong sense of form.
​
This bar stool works for residential and commercial spaces, particularly bars and restaurants, offering a compact, sleek solution for its surroundings.
