Description

A mycelium stool by Olle Sahlqvist, inspired by the dome, a network of mycelium hyphae connecting the wooden fibers into a stable form.

This furniture explores how fungi shape sustainable design by growing furniture from a blend of spores, wood shavings, flour, water, and time. The mycelium network binds these elements into light yet robust forms that are as much grown as they are designed. Inspired by biomimicry, the design follows the soft geometries and inner logic of the fungus. The Spore Stool sequester CO₂ during growth and return nutrients to the soil at the end of their life. A circular, low-tech design that transforms byproducts into furniture for learning, reflection, and ecological engagement.

About Olle Sahlqvist Visit Showroom →

Olle Sahlqvist studied for a bachelor’s in product design at HDK-Valand in Gothenburg. In his degree project named Biomimicry Furniture Design Sahlqvist addressed the climate crisis, which we are dealing with in different ways on an individual level. In Sahlqvist’s opinion, we need to create a stronger relationship with nature to become more empathetic to it. By getting closer to nature's materials and expressions we will become involved in nature's well-being. In 2022 Sahlqvist was represented in the Ex-Works 2022 exhibition at the Museum of Furniture Studies with two objects from the project Invite Nature. The Bark stool taken over by nature's forgotten material, the bark which defends the trees' inner structure. The Fungi shelf with walnut back and fungi shelving bark boards formed after the mushroom's biological structure.
