With its spindle legs, this light wood tripod stool evokes a countryside spirit in a simple and refined version. Its moderate height allows it to fit beside a coffee table, at the end of a sofa, or in a bedroom as an extra surface for placing a book or a lamp. The wooden material brings a warm presence, while the three-legged design gives it a balanced look that is easy to integrate. Found and secondhand, this piece naturally complements an interior with rustic accents, linen textiles, and matte ceramics. In an entryway, it welcomes a stoneware catch-all or a bouquet of dried flowers. Height: 40 cm Diameter: 25 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 backrest and armrests. In the Middle Ages, it was the universal seat for the common people, while among 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 single gesture. Whether made of raw wood or in an industrial style, it now embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture, providing extra seating that never clutters the view.
