Firewood Sling brings together forged steel and bridal leather in a considered composition of material, form, and function. A curved leather sling cradles the wood, suspended within a framework of hand-forged steel. The contrast between the supple surface of the leather and the strength of the steel gives the piece a distinct physical presence, balancing structural clarity with the natural character of its materials.
The open framework establishes a sense of lightness, while the curved sling provides a strong, continuous form that follows the shape and weight of its contents. Forged joints, shaped ends, and subtle variations in the steel preserve the evidence of handwork, allowing the construction itself to define the object’s character.
Designed for the hearth, Firewood Sling gives a familiar domestic object a sculptural quality. Steel, leather, and negative space work in concert, bringing together durability, utility, and a restrained approach to form.
