About the Item
Stools have been steadily increasing in popularity thanks to a number of reasons, the most obvious being their space-saving functionality. Stools can be used in any space to provide an easily moved alternative to more cumbersome furniture. However, thanks to their versatility, they can provide a lot of visual interest.
European mid-century design is generally characterized by a minimal, clean approach that seeks to combine functionality with beauty. With its focus is on simple lines and light spaces, this stool is devoid of clutter. Standing on four straight legs, the sole decorative element is the split seat that showcases the traditional woodworking techniques. This freestanding model was made without needing any nails or glue, which adds to its charm. The joinery technique is simple and clearly visible on the seat, enhancing the honest design. Just as with art styles, culture and fashion, each region of the world had their own joinery styles. While each region’s techniques are vastly different from one another, they still followed the same principles, in that they would join the timbers in such a way that they couldn’t be pulled apart. This is also true for this stool, making it a durable, timeless piece. Being functional as well as aesthetically pleasing, this stool is simple and subtle, there is nothing superfluous about it. It strips back the unnecessary, showcasing the essential beauty of the wood and its simple lines.
Designers define stools as jewels and statements in a space, and taking practicality into account, this stool is perfect to add visual interest to any space. While there are many kinds of stools in terms of appearance and use, those produced in the mid-century are the highest regarded in terms of design and quality.
