Burned Out Tree Trunk Stools by Kaspar Hamacher

Inspired by nature and the elements, Belgian designer Kaspar Hamacher makes stools from wooden logs by setting them on fire.
Called ‘Ausgebrannt’, which means “burned out” in German, tree trunks have been cut into segments varying in length, the bark is stripped from the exterior and fire is then used to hollow out parts of the trunk to create legs. Originally based in urban Brussels, Kaspar moved back to his roots, to the forest, where he now runs his atelier to create all sort of wood furniture.
