peel stool
PEEL transforms discarded salak skin into a flexible, biodegradable textile through a fully chemical-free process. Developed through extensive material experimentation, the project reframes fruit waste as something to be celebrated rather than discarded, preserving each skin's natural texture, colour variation, and surface irregularities in the final form. The stool is made from white oak and salak skin, upholstered without synthetics or adhesives, with estimated CO2 emissions around 90 to 95 percent lower than conventional leather and PU alternatives.
