With its rattan weaving and bamboo structure, this vintage stool in a natural hue brings a soft countryside touch. Its low, round seat easily fits in a bedroom, an entryway, or next to a side table, where it can hold a lamp, a few books, or a catch-all. The plant material gives it a simple and warm look that pairs effortlessly with linen, light wood, or artisanal ceramics. In a corner of the living room, it can also serve as a footrest or a temporary support for a potted plant. Around an armchair, it completes the scene with a fiber basket and a folded blanket. Height: 37 cm Diameter: 30 cm A Brief History of the Stool As the oldest seat in history, the stool is the direct ancestor of the chair, distinguished by its lack of a backrest and armrests. In the Middle Ages, it was the universal seat of the people, while among the nobility, the "right to a 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 wooden farm style or industrial design, it embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture today, offering an extra seat that never clutters the view.
