{"title":"Seating","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur appreciation for simplicity extends to the places to sit. Every stool and chair is designed to be intentional, understated, and at home in a variety of spaces. Each piece is handcrafted in my Lancaster County shop, beginning as a sketch on paper and continuing through every step of the process—even designing and building the tools needed to make it.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"handmade-full-grain-leather-folding-stool-steel-frame-accent-ottoman","title":"Steel \u0026 Leather Folding Stool","description":"\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSome projects begin with a need. Others begin simply because I can't stop thinking about them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat's how this folding stool came to be. I've always admired the classic Roman folding stool and wanted to create my own interpretation. The design challenged me in all the right ways. To build it, I designed and fabricated my own twisting tool to place the twists in the steel exactly where I wanted them, along with a custom welding fixture to hold every part in perfect alignment. Once complete, I hand-rub each frame with a black oxide finish that brings out the character of the steel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe frame is paired with a seat made from heavy vegetable-tanned bridle leather, hand-laced to the steel for a simple, almost historic character that feels true to the design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSince making the first one, it's found a place throughout our home. It's just as comfortable for putting your feet up on a quiet Sunday afternoon as it is for pulling out an extra seat when friends stop by. When it's not in use, it folds away neatly, ready for the next time it's needed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI often find that when I build something I genuinely want in my own home, others end up wanting it too. I think this stool is one of those pieces.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elrod Goods","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":54006224486764,"sku":null,"price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"English Tan","offer_id":54006224519532,"sku":null,"price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Saddle Brown","offer_id":54006264168812,"sku":null,"price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut Brown","offer_id":54006264201580,"sku":null,"price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1002\/2335\/3196\/files\/main_image.jpg?v=1783686674"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1002\/2335\/3196\/collections\/ElrodGoodsWinter2026-49.jpg?v=1783416171","url":"https:\/\/elrodgoods.com\/collections\/seating.oembed","provider":"Elrod Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
