About the innovation

The Stools Challenge

YOUR CULTURAL HERITAGE CAN BE SHOWN

in the material used to create the stool: wood, stone, wool, rattan, fabric, rugs …, or in the objects that you incorporate in your stool, giving them a new function (instruments, furniture, pillows, beehives, umbrellas, clothes, dishes … it can be anything!), or in the technique used for decorating your item (sewing, painting, knitting, embroidering …), or in traditional patterns

In addition to using materials that represent your cultural heritage, you should use materials which you have in abundance. This can be practically anything you find in the waste: old newspapers, old books, pieces of wood, plastic bags, plastic bottles, etc. But don’t forget to add also an element from your cultural heritage.
