All rounded, this turned wooden stool charms with its light wood hue and discreet presence, ideal for a country interior. Completely stripped and patinated, it reveals a soft-looking wood, highlighted by its crafted legs and second-hand appearance. In an entryway, a bedroom, or near a table, it willingly accommodates a book, a table lamp, or a lightweight basket, while remaining easy to move. Placed in the corner of a living room, topped with a stack of magazines or a stoneware vase, it adds a refined vintage touch without weighing down the overall aesthetic. Height: 42 cm Diameter: 28.5 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 seating for 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 it is a rustic raw wood or an industrial style, it embodies today the ultimate space-saving furniture, providing additional seating that never clutters the eye.
