Contemporary Low Stool with Upholstered Seat Cushion
About the Item
Low stool with a hand-carved reclaimed wood base, upholstered seat cushion, and handmade glass button. Customizable and comfortable, with a grounded and relaxed feel.
Designed by multi-hyphenate creative force Rafael Prieto, this one-of-a-kind stool is made of hand-carved Cumuru (sustainable alternative to teak) wood, with seat cushion upholstered in an archival, burgundy-and-cream-striped nubby jacquard textile adorned with a glass button hand-cast from a stone. The perfect elevated low seating for lounging fireside, quiet meditation, or intimate conversation with friends. ‘The stools are like a way of having a conversation with friends, almost like a documentation,’ Prieto says.
Prieto's idea for the stools came about very naturally, following the making of a long, low table that Prieto crafted from two planks of white oak. ‘I like the idea of finding things in nature, or using scraps from lumber yards,’ he says. Very simply, he needed a low stool to accompany the low table, so he set about making his own. Low to the ground, a seemingly simple hand-carved base of Cumuru wood on block feet supports a plush, square cushion upholstered in deadstock vintage fabric and finished with a unique hand cast glass button.

- Eclectic, One-Off Decorative Accent Table or Stool in Vivid Azure BlueBy Louis BressollesLocated in New York, NYThis eclectic, one-off azure-blue decorative accent table or stool is made by French multidisciplinary artist-designer Louis Bressolles. The entirely unique sculptural object is constructed of interlocking pieces of reclaimed tree branches and layered Plexiglass sheets that have been thermoformed to create a useable structure — and which can be disassembled and reassembled like a puzzle. The puzzle's trick is that it must be constructed in a specific order. Once assembled, the lightweight materials of the piece become quite sturdy, and the finished form is reminiscent of a wild and imaginatively intertwined patchwork of branches and brambles, drenched in a cheerful, bright shade of blue that recalls the Mediterranean Sea on a sunny day. A versatile and functional design object that is guaranteed to stand-out in even the most discerning contemporary interiors. About the Artist: As an artist and designer, Bressolles has developed a personal and singular approach, inspired by lived experience. Bressolles exploits materials, particularly plastic, to new formal and technical potential, give new life to re-used plastics, such as his recent “Gainage” Collection, created with discarded swimming pool equipment...Category

- Sculptural Accent Chair, Side Table or Decorative Stool in Hand-Carved BeeswaxBy Rooms StudioLocated in New York, NYThis one-of-a-kind sculptural beeswax chair with sides is designed by Rooms Studio in collaboration with Shotiko Aptsiauri and was produced in Tbilisi, Georgia. The molded, beeswax sculpture, which can be interpreted as a stool, seat, side table or art object, is cylindrical in shape with two rectangular blocks at the top, representing a backrest or arms for the seat. About the Design Studio: Works of Rooms Studio refers to the sculptural forms and abundant materials in juxtaposition with the feminine instincts. Born and raised in Tbilisi, Georgia, the duo behind the Rooms, Nata Janberidze and Keti Toloraia, lean towards preserving the inherited craftsmanship techniques unique to the region. Massive wood and stone objects are hand-crafted using traditional techniques to create raw and symbolic forms often rooted in the designers' childhood memories. Growing up in a culturally diverse environment, where the two worlds - Western and Eastern collide, remarkably influenced their design language. Over the years, Rooms has created eight independent collections and collaborations equally memorable and representative of the duo's perpetual mission to bring life to omitted elements of a former life. Through their series of works, Janberidze and Toloraia try to examine the boundaries between the public and private. Experiencing adolescent years in the 90s - a significant decade of cultural and societal shifts - their work is a narrative of personal experiences of womanhood. By contrasting the new feminine monumental shapes with architectural brutality, Rooms challenges the status quo and also bridges the conventional and contemporary design with a confluence of female energy. The studio’s largest U.S. exhibition to date, Distant Symphony, expands upon this impulse to focus inward. The title is again a chief concern—some of the objects included here were designed during the global pandemic, under a regime of forced isolation that made the studio’s typically collective work process untenable. The pieces shown here are the results of Rooms’ search for a way forward. The first room, an antechamber of sorts, evokes the intimate quality of a private home. Shown here are trinkets and personal effects chosen by Janberidze and Toloraia for their emotive qualities; a low background noise emphasizes the climate of urban domesticity. The ensuing gallery space features highlights of Rooms’ recent design output. Here, the subtle scent of organic materials provides a sensory indication of the atelier’s interest in dichotomies: natural and man-made, personal and collective, local and cosmopolitan. In light of the global circumstances, Janberidze and Toloraia felt it was especially important to pursue collaborative work. Rooms invited three artists—Shotiko Aptsiauri, Salome Chigalashvili and Mariana Chkonia—to conduct a dialogue and shared design process. As such, this exhibition is a kind of polyphonic meditation on a need for solitude and desire for companionship. The practice of polyphonic singing, essential to Georgian folk culture, is reinterpreted here as a design endeavor. Chigilashvili, working with unprocessed yarn, interpreted folk motifs by adapting embroidery to the scale of furniture with expansive stitches applied to painted boards...Category

- Stone Top Coffee Table on Wood Block Base with Cast Glass and Ceramic DetailsBy Rafael PrietoLocated in New York, NYThe centerpiece of Rafael Prieto's debut solo exhibition in 2023 was the "Low Table," a one-of-a-kind work comprising four of the elements Prieto selected to express a sort of spatial poetry through materiality—wood, stone, glass and ceramic. Each material undergoes an individual finishing process to become united in singular form, the disparate entities creating asymetrical balance and contrasting textures pleasing to both the eye and the touch. The slab top is blue sandstone, with rough hewn hand-chiseled edges that ripple with energy. A hand-broken fragment of white-glazed ceramic tile, cast from a mold made using the denim jacket of the designer’s partner, is inlaid into the stone, adding an element of romance and another layer of tactility to the overall piece. The sandstone slab rests atop two solid blocks of expertly-crafted reclaimed yellow pine; sourcing wood that was previously used is the designer’s preference as a sustainability practice, as well as for the richness of character only found in repurposed lumber. One of the wood blocks was hand-carved to receive a volume of crucible-poured glass, cast in a mold made from a granite landscaping boulder. The glass “stone” is a subtly naturalistic design detail, retaining the course surface texture of a boulder, yet entirely transparent. This piece is a unique object of functional art that is conversational in nature, making it the ultimate centerpiece for collectors of contemporary design to treasure for years to come.
