With its brutalist look, this black wooden tripod stool adds a touch of relief to a country or more contemporary interior. Its three-legged structure and round seat make it a second-hand piece with a sober presence, ideal in an entrance, at the end of a sofa, or as a secondary support in a bedroom. The black wood emphasizes its clear lines and gives it a deep finish, easy to pair with linen, ceramics, or an antique armchair. Height: 40 cm Diameter: 34 cm A brief history of the stool As the oldest seat in history, the stool is the direct ancestor of the chair, distinguished by the absence of a backrest and armrests. In the Middle Ages, it was the universal seat of the people, while in the nobility, the "right to the stool" became a highly codified court privilege, allowing ladies to sit in the presence of the king. Its structure, resting on three or four legs, is a feat of stability and lightness, designed to be slid under a table or moved with a gesture. Whether made of raw wood from a farm or in an industrial style, it now embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture, offering an extra seat that never clutters the eye.
