Some designers change the shape of objects. Others change the way we see them. Martino Gamper does both with a quiet confidence and a sense of play that feels right at home here at Space Of Kin.

His approach to furniture is anything but ordinary. Based in East London, Martino’s studio sits in the heart of the Boundary Estate, London’s first council housing project a place layered with history, community, and creative energy. And it’s here that the story of the Arnold Circus Stool begins.

Originally designed in 2006 as part of a regeneration project for nearby Arnold Circus, the stool was created to be as functional as it was joyful. Stackable. Lightweight. Weatherproof. Easy to carry to local brass band concerts and flower planting days. It was made for real use by real people.

Nearly two decades later, it’s become a design icon.
