About the Item
This beautiful stool was crafted in the manner of French design duo Audoux-Minet. Adrien Audoux and Frida Minet worked together during the mid-20th century. The duo are known for their innovative use of natural, sustainable materials, including rope, wicker, and bamboo. Their work was heavily influenced by the Modernist movement, which sought to create functional and streamlined designs that were accessible to a wider audience.
Like in Scandinavia, there was an early emphasis on wood in most European mid-century design as it connected everyday objects to nature. This stool is a perfect example of this sentiment, and the visual benefits of an understated, organic design. The high quality woven wicker makes the piece an outstanding example of woven furniture. It features a fairly traditional shape with rounded edges and an airy feel. The straightforward shape highlights the understated beauty of the materials, allowing the beautiful woven pattern and the grain of the wood to stand out. The seat is set on three splayed club feet, stained in a rich colour lending a more dramatic presence to the form. The tripod base is ideal for ensuring the sturdiness needed for a classic piece of furniture made to withstand the passage of time. Being functional as well as aesthetically pleasing, the stool will be a great addition to set the tone of a space. The design is strong but subtle, with expert wickerwork thanks to which it can add depth as well as functionality to a space.
The interplay of a simple structure and refined detailing evokes a sense of harmony, aligning with the era’s focus on blending beauty with utility. The organic design makes this piece stand out with an elemental edge. The colour palette further allows it to easily adapt to almost any interior to either complement a space, or to stand as an accent piece.

View AllWoven Rattan Stool, Europe Early 20th Century
Located in Utrecht, NL
In the professional field of interior design, certain pieces and types of furniture hold a timeless allure, effortlessly weaving together functionality, aesthetic appeal, and a rich history. Among these treasures is the simple, way too often overlooked, but extremely versatile stool,
This lovely piece from the early 20th century is entirely Crafted from the organic material rattan, and embodies a harmonious blend of natural beauty, craftsmanship, and functional elegance, making it a perfect accent piece for both modern and classic interior settings.
Rattan, derived from the climbing palms native to tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Australasia, boasts a unique combination of flexibility, durability, and lightweight properties. As such, its pliable nature allows skilled artisans to deftly manipulate and weave it into intricate patterns, resulting in furniture pieces like this stool that exude both sophistication and an artisan, rustic charm. Similarly to traditional wooden furniture, rattan possesses a warmth and tactile quality that invites touch and appreciation of its natural texture.
The resurgence of stools in contemporary interior design can be attributed to several factors; Firstly, their compact size and versatility make them ideal for maximizing space in smaller living areas or apartments. Stools can easily be tucked away when not in use, serving as convenient additional seating when guests arrive or as a practical surface for holding books, plants, or decorative items. Moreover, their understated elegance, individuality, and timeless appeal complement a wide range of interior styles, from minimalist and Scandinavian to Bohemian and eclectic.
At the heart of this rattan stool's charm lies its exquisite weaving patterns and impeccable quality. Each strand of rattan is skilfully interlaced to form intricate circular motifs and geometric designs, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail of its maker. The weaving technique employed in crafting this stool results in a sturdy yet lightweight structure, capable of withstanding the test of time while retaining its graceful silhouette.
The stool's slightly splayed, bent legs add a touch of visual interest and stability, while the metal caps on its feet provide both protection and a subtle hint of industrial flair. This thoughtful combination of materials and design elements enhances the stool's durability and aesthetic appeal, ensuring that it remains a cherished heirloom for generations to come.
Versatile in its functionality, the rattan stool can serve as a humble pallet for showcasing curated collections or as an elegant flower pedestal, bringing a touch of natural beauty indoors. Its timeless allure and understated sophistication make it a beloved accent piece in modern interiors, where it serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of organic materials and masterful craftsmanship.
