In this listing you will find an iconic and highly sculptural set of three "Banana" bar stools designed by Tom Dixon during the 1980s. Celebrated for their playful organic form and innovative use of materials, these stools exemplify Dixon's early experimental approach that would later establish him as one of Britain's most influential contemporary designers. Each stool features a distinctive banana-shaped seat hand-woven in natural rush over a metal frame, resting on elegantly slender black lacquered steel legs. The juxtaposition of the warm, tactile woven surface with the graphic linearity of the steel base creates a striking silhouette that is both functional and artistic. Produced in limited numbers during Dixon's formative years, the Banana stools...

French Patinated Beech and Rush Two-Seat Bench, France, 1950s A charming and unusually compact French two-seat bench, crafted in patinated beechwood with a handwoven natural rush seat, dating from the 1950s. Measuring only 91 cm (35.83 in) wide, this petite bench offers comfortable seating for two while occupying remarkably little space. Its compact proportions make it particularly suitable for smaller interiors, apartments, hallways, bedrooms, dressing rooms or as an occasional fireside seat. The solid beechwood frame features two individually defined backrests, each detailed with an elegant row of turned spindle supports. Sculptural armrests, turned stretchers and a central supporting leg give the bench a distinctive French rustic character and an attractive architectural quality. The beechwood has developed a beautiful warm patina through decades of use, with subtle variations in tone and surface wear that emphasize the authentic vintage character. The darker aged wood contrasts beautifully with the lighter natural rush seat. Despite its modest dimensions, the bench has a strong decorative presence and works equally well in French Provincial, rustic, Mediterranean, farmhouse and more contemporary interiors. The bench remains in good vintage condition with age-related wear and patina consistent with its age and use. The rush seat is intact and usable, with natural signs of age and wear, particularly visible underneath. Please refer to the detailed photographs. A particularly appealing piece of mid-20th-century French country furniture, combining traditional craftsmanship, sculptural detailing and highly practical compact proportions.

Mid-century designers were eager to break free from the aesthetics of the past and experiment with new forms, and techniques. At the same time, especially in Europe, the modernist design movement was often based on traditional styles and techniques, such as turned chairs. Turned chairs — sometimes called thrown chairs or spindle chairs — represent a style of Elizabethan or Jacobean turned furniture that had a vogue in the late 16th and early 17th century. The technique was carried on to the 20th century and was widespread in Europe as well, where craftsmen created durable pieces for various interiors and purposes. In turned furniture, the individual wooden spindles of the piece were made by shaping them with chisels and gouges while they were being spun, or turned between the centre points of a lathe. The construction of this pair is evocative of the more robust Arts and Crafts Movement, featuring subtle decorative elements such as the finials atop the backs. The sphere-shaped finials aren’t the only ornamentations on the design; the shape of the two splats on the back, the carved stretchers and carving on the feet are all decorative features that make this pair visually arresting. In later turned chairs, like this pair, rush seats were common. Here, the seats are woven around the frames with a light colour that beautifully contrasts to the dark, patinated wood. The partnership of the two natural materials is very effective as well; the wood and rush pair...
