Asphalt stool

Together with road-construction workers, Jason Pocklington designed a very Newyorker stool taken from a crosswalk between 58th st. and Lexington, in Manhattan.

58th street and Lexington avenue cross in midtown Manhattan, at the core of the urban swirl with its traffic, cars, taxis, buses, bikes and, most of all, its construction workers who play their part in creating the New York vibe. Designer Jason Pocklington framed this piece of the everyday in a stool. 

 

The 58th Lexington Stool features a piece of the crosswalk from the north-eastern corner of the road. It has been cut with machinery by the workers themselves, under his supervision, and afterwards cleaned and chiseld on the bottom as well as grinded on the sides. Originally made from a mix of concrete and asphalt, there are also pieces of glass found at the bottom. The legs are made from welded steel tubes, finished with a slight polish and waxed to keep a matte look.
