Stack Stool by Saym Hussain

The Stack Stool reworks a single aluminium handi from London's iconic Shepherd’s Bush Market, extending its offcuts into legs. Part of the broader ‘Pot Dialogics’ artistic project, the piece embodies a materially diasporic journey: British scrap metal travels to Pakistan, where the pots are made, before returning to the UK to be sold in local markets. It evokes South Asian aesthetic codes of stacking, repetition, and symmetry, carried across through an innate cultural memory and interpreted through a diasporic lens. Made from a 2 mm aluminium sheet, its strength derives from the aesthetic flares from its original production that form compound curves that reinforce the stool.

With an irreverent approach to design, functionality and the worth of materials, London-based Glasgowegian designer, Saym Hussain's unique and humorous pieces, are created for those daring design collectors looking for the unconventional.

Saym Hussain is a London-based designer from Glasgow whose work moves between research and making, exploring how objects and contexts shape each other. Grounded in material investigation and social inquiry, his practice works with everyday objects to interrogate the histories they come from whilst surfacing social, political, and cultural narratives, reimagining aesthetic and diasporic codes in contemporary design. His work is situated within his British South Asian experience, translating personal references into sites of conversation and renewal. Graduating from the Royal College of Art in MA Design Products (2025), where he was a fellow of the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 and Logitech Scholar, he has since established his studio practice in London, focused on narrative and locally situated objects.
