The sheepskin footstool is designed and made by Alison Ospina using hazel from her home in West Cork. She draws inspiration from Shaker design with its emphasis on simplicity, quality and functionality.
Alison especially enjoys working with natural wood, finding within the free forms a stimulus for her own creativity.
“Working with the natural shapes and curves of the hazel is a dynamic process – like a conversation between the tree and the chair maker.” Alison Ospina.
