About the Item
These hand-carved stools/chairs are more than just seating; they are a form of functional art. The craftsmanship required to sculpt the complex shapes of the human hand into furniture speaks to a deep understanding of both form and function by the artisan. Each finger is carefully shaped, with the lines representing the joints and creases one would find on an actual hand. The palms form a comfortable and inviting seat, while the wrists transition into a sturdy base, flaring out for stability.
The wood's rich tones highlight the natural beauty of the acacia, a hardwood known for its durability and fine grain. This choice of material not only ensures the stools/chairs' longevity but also gives them a warm, organic feel. The base of each stool/chair features carved designs, adding a touch of traditional Filipino aesthetic and possibly indicating the cultural significance or the region where they were made.
These stools/chairs likely date back to the mid-20th century when there was a trend for incorporating whimsical and naturalistic elements into home decor. Originating from the Philippines, they may be part of a tradition or a particular period when local artisans explored more creative and exportable furniture designs to cater to a global market that was eager for unique and exotic pieces. Their presence in a space is commanding, and they are likely to be conversation starters, blending art with the everyday act of sitting.
These would work great as stools providing extra seating in your living room, or as child chairs for the little ones in the family
