About the Item

This elegant pair of vintage pencil reed stools or ottomans dates to the 1970s and showcases a sculptural four-leg waterfall silhouette with beautifully curved lines. Crafted in richly toned pencil reed, the frames exhibit a warm, dimensional surface that highlights the natural material and refined construction. The seats have been newly reupholstered in a deep brown microfiber faux suede, offering a soft hand and a clean, tailored contrast to the textured reed. The upholstery choice enhances both comfort and versatility, making these pieces equally suited as ottomans, extra seating, or accent stools. The design reflects the same elevated aesthetic, material quality, and sculptural sensibility associated with notable late-20th-century designers such as Crespi, Betty Cobonpue, and Vivai del Sud, who are known for blending organic materials with refined, resort-level modernism. While not attributed, the overall look and execution place this pair comfortably within that same design lineage and level of craftsmanship. Their form bridges coastal, boho, mid-century modern, and Palm Beach Regency interiors, making them especially appealing for layered, collected spaces. A strong stylistic presence without overpowering a room, they work beautifully at the foot of a chair, beneath a console, or as a paired accent in a living area or bedroom. Solid, well-proportioned, and visually striking, this pair reflects the relaxed sophistication and material richness characteristic of high-quality 1970s design. ⸻ Details • Origin: United States • Period: 1970s • Materials: Pencil reed, microfiber faux suede upholstery • Condition: Very good vintage condition; newly upholstered seats ⸻ Dimensions (Each) • Width: 18.5 in • Depth: 18.5 in • Height: 17 in
