The results of the residency for Aitken are a collection of stools that combine wood, metal and a cotton cord from Japan. "I spent a great deal of time searching fro the perfect cotton cord, and finally settled on two," she says; "The first a very natural and malleable and the second more refined with a slight sheen. These choices added an appropriate level of contrast of matte versus satin and provided a little cushioning."
