HempStool was designed with minimalism in mind, leaving only what is essential for comfortable use. Its form highlights the natural beauty of hemp fibers, while the stool itself has absorbed 0,75 kg of CO₂. The project was created as part of the ReHemptation collection - a manifesto that harnesses the potential of annual plants not only as an ecological raw material but also as a source of aesthetic expression. Collaboration with Husarska Design Studio was key in exploring minimalist solutions that emphasize conscious design.
HempStool was designed to push the boundaries of minimalism and sustainability in furniture. The brief called for a stool that:
HempStool is crafted from the innovative composite material Strumber Hemp. This plant-based alternative to wood uses fast-growing annual crops such as hemp to capture CO₂ and avoid deforestation. The stool embodies a zero-waste approach: its pared-back form uses minimal material, while the production process emphasizes circularity and renewable-resource use.
Husarska Design Studio approached HempStool with a philosophy of “only what is needed”. Each element is deliberately thought-out to remove excess, exposing the material’s character. The stool’s streamlined geometry allows the texture of the hemp composite to take centre stage - its fiber structure visible and tactile. The manufacturing process focuses on precision carpentry and finishing that protects against everyday use while preserving a natural aesthetic.
HempStool has been showcased as part of the ReHemptation collection at major European design events, including Dutch Design Week and Vienna Design Week across 2023 and 2024. During the 2024 edition of Dutch Design Week, it was featured both in the “Polish Job 2.0” exhibition and within the Green Product Awards showcase. In every setting, the stool sparked curiosity and interaction — people stopped to touch it, photograph it, and reflect on its minimal form and the story of renewable materials it embodies.
"HempStool proves that minimalism is not about less design - it’s about more meaning.”
“When you remove everything unnecessary, the material finally starts to speak.”
“We wanted every edge and surface to feel honest - like nature shaped it herself.”
“Twelve kilograms of captured CO₂ turned into something you can sit on - that’s real design impact.”
