The Homie Stool blends CNC milling, robotics, and traditional woodworking to explore the intersection of technology and human connection. Balancing on just two legs, its structural defiance and minimalist form challenge conventional design while celebrating human reliance and intimacy. Crafted from maple wood with dovetail joints, the stool is assembled by a robot with mathematical precision, placing each piece into geolocated coordinates like a three-dimensional puzzle. In an era defined by digital disconnection, the Homie Stool acts as a quiet protest — reaffirming the value of presence, vulnerability, and shared physical space.
