The inspiration for the Stickle Bench came to its creator Will James when he was looking at the remnants of a lunch of fried fish, lovingly prepared by his mother-in-law and eaten looking out to sea in the Algarve. 

Will was fascinated by the small spines, their articulation, their bend and flex. This influenced Will to set himself the challenge to create a piece of furniture that represents the dynamism and fluidity of such a form. 

A unique one-off piece that is made and ready to ship, the Stickle Bench is a departure from traditional techniques usually employed for chair and bench making. Instead of rails and stretchers to prevent the legs from splaying outwards, this bench supports itself via a steel spine running through the seat from leg to leg. This allows the ribs of the bench to float. 

The bench flexes imperceptibly under load in a way that allows the structure to find a new equilibrium, and subtly evokes the bend and flex of the spine that Will was so inspired by.
