Ydin stool can be mounted by yourself, without using special tools, thanks to a simple interlocking system. The 4 identical feet are placed in no particular order and the concrete seat, acting as the keystone, keeps everything in place. Feet are made with scrap wood coming from a stairs manufacturer, easily machined using traditional woodworking techniques and finally oiled. The seat is simply moulded in a lasting fiber-reinforced UHP Concrete. Only 5 dissociable parts to be flat packed and ready to be shipped to final customers, is another sustainability argument.

The inoow design studio was born from a need of Frank Divay to combine with passion, both industrial design and woodworking crafts. Besides product design services provided for companies, it is proposed to professionals and individuals, furniture, lighting and other bespoke designed items which are then manufactured in the workshop adjoining the studio. Originally, the workshop was just a playground where creativity is expressed through materials manipulation and experimentation! A privileged environment which offers the opportunity to overcome some constraints essential to all industrial productions. For example, Ydin stool was born from an exploration process with ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). In the same vein, inoow design studio is also in close connection with a stairs manufacturer. Together, they lead a reflection on the wood offcuts valorisation. A sustainable approach that will give a second life to these unusable parts in a stairs manufacturing context. Today, the workshop has also become for Franck Divay a true dedicated to manufacturing place. Here, is the handmade work that prevails. A working method synonymous with a traditional know-how, which requires time and is sometimes viewed as archaic. Whereas it reflects a passion for the love of a well done job and ensures an authentic production, lasting and fully "Made In France". The signing of inoow design is the wood combination with other materials such as plywood, metal, or more unexpected, concrete! A cocktail often enhanced with a touch of color.

Both an industrial designer and a woodworker, Franck Divay combined under the name inoow design these two core businesses with passion. In addition to the design services provided to companies, it is proposed to both professionals and individuals, custom designed furniture, lighting and other items which are then manufactured in the workshop attached to the design studio.
