Description

Kugri chairs by B.C. Joshua are made to resemble early forms of seating where materials reflected their immediate surroundings (stone and wood). Kugri is a Ghanaian term from the Nangodi region meaning the earth spriting-stone. They have vine like back rests made from scots pine which protude from the back as if engulfed by the stone like paper. This Kugri Chair was made as a dining chair, which is reflected in its tall back. The stone has been painted green using Lakewood natural paints and has been sanded down in various areas to reveal the newspaper base underneath.

The stones are made from a material called GyPulp (recycled paper mixed with salvaged and ground plasterboard) and are built around a wooden and wired armature, making for a very strong base.

About B.C.Joshua Visit Showroom →

Blake is an American designer based between London and Minnesota. He aims to create objects that are not only owned but also deeply felt by their users—pieces that encourage self-expression and contribute to personal narratives. His work embodies a curious approachability, blending a raw and grounded earth driven palette with a tactile approach. Through a balance of imperfection and sleekness, Blake explores the contrast between raw materials and refined design, translating abstract ideas, into physical proposals. His process is rooted in a research-driven approach, where material, form, and narrative come together in a multi-layered expression. The resulting furniture is approachable, welcoming, and refreshingly authentic, standing as both a response to its surroundings and an invitation to explore the interplay of emotion, tone, and texture.
