As part of the Future Comfort collaboration, our experimental chair made from timber offcuts and Kloke's own textile remnants, we went out to meet the makers.
We visited Sarah Parkes (Smalltown) and Scott McCormack (Roopacorp) at their farm in Fish Creek, on Gunaikurnai country in South Gippsland. Two makers, two sheds.

Meet Future Comfort.
A chair made from what we already had. Timber offcuts. Rope woven from Kloke's own textile remnants. And a question we kept coming back to: what if comfort was built from what we already have?
Future Comfort is a collaboration between Kloke, artist and designer Sarah Parkes (Smalltown) , and joiner Roopacorp, a project about reworking waste through craft, ingenuity, and a shared belief in making things differently.
Future Comfort is on view at our Little Collins Street store throughout Melbourne Design Week, 14–24 May. Come through to see it up close.
