At the intersection of brutalism and country spirit, this second-hand wooden footstool in a light wood hue charms with its straightforward design and sculptural ball legs. Its low shape easily complements an armchair in the living room, where it relieves tired legs, holds a book, or completes a reading nook. The wood adds a warm note and effortlessly pairs with washed linen, a wool rug, or a rattan seat in natural tones. Under a living room window, it holds a folded blanket and a ceramic cup, creating a simple and refined scene. Length: 30 cm Width: 14 cm Height: 20 cm A Brief History of the Stool As the oldest seat in history, the stool is the direct ancestor of the chair, which it differs from by the absence of a backrest and armrests. In the Middle Ages, it was the universal seat of the common 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 or in an industrial style, it embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture, providing extra seating that never clutters the eye.
