TrOY is a plywood toy that also stores other toys. Like the legend of the Trojan horse, it embodies mystery and intrigue. What is it? What does it do? The user must discover its various uses. Sure, it stores toys and small children can sit and push themselves along on it, but it also has a hidden compartment inside the head which is to be found without any clues. Once the cavity is discovered, small men are revealed inside. These men mimic their Greek relatives and exit the horse creating surprise. Once they are out, it is clear that they form a puzzle.

The Holly stool is an all timber high stool produced for use in commercial venues. The innovation in the design is the combination of both square and round profiles of the jointing, to give a highly pleasing aesthetic. The construction is robust – the sustainable plantation American white oak, in both solid and plywood form, adds significant durability. Curved plywood seats provide comfort. The Holly stool is highly competitive in cost and has a companion low stool and stacking dining chair.
