OFFCUT & TWM

We’re fairly conscious about our scrap production here at TWM and are always on the lookout for clever ways to reanimate material that may have served its first purpose. We were delighted to befriend the like-minded neighborhood woodworkers at Offcut, an operation which makes functional, beautiful goods exclusively with their studio waste material.

This is a collection of objects produced collaboratively between our two studios in a months-long game of design ping-pong. Everything is made using scrap material from our respective practices. These are one of a kind pieces, but everything you see in the collection can be made to order - with the very important caveat that what you get may be slightly different from what you see! Remember, we're working with the scrap material we have on hand ... so a chair might have to be made in say oak instead of walnut. Or the colors of a cushion might be red and purples instead of blues and pinks.

Either way, we can make you something that looks very similar to what you see here - and we will work with you as best as we can to get your very own piece of Offcut & TWM collaboration. Please be in touch (info@theweavingmill.com) if you are interested in commissioning a piece.

Rush-style Ladderback Chair

Rush-style Ladderback Chair

$1,650.00

Another variation on the Shaker ladderback chair, using the same stripped-down geometric style but in a deep green finish for a dramatic presence. The seat on this piece is a style traditionally done in woven rush - rather than the uniformity of the rush we used loops and lengths of waste thread from the weaving process tied together in a playful mix of colors and loose ends. The back ‘slats’ are fashioned from leftover vegetable tanned leather, dyed to match the wood chair body and attached with contrasting brass hardware.
