Stilla is a stool created by transforming a traditional Swedish kicking sled, an object once common in snowy Nordic winters. As climate change makes these winters increasingly rare, the sled is losing its purpose. By reusing its original birch and steel components, the design preserves its form while giving it a new function.
The project reflects on loss, adaptation, and how design can extend the life of meaningful objects. The name Stilla, meaning “still” or “at rest” in Swedish, reflects the sled’s shift from movement to stillness.
