19th Century Bleached Oak Little Milking Stool, Spain

Painted steam-bent wood. Almost animalian in its expression, this stool is crafted from steam-bent waste wood, rendering each in the edition unique. Below a curved split seat, two roughly-hewn legs are held in composition with a more conventional post. The piece is part of Held Absence, Grace Prince’s largest furniture collection to date addressing a long-held fascination with absence and fragility.

A graduate of Central Saint Martins, she worked as the assistant designer to Vincenzo De Cotiis...
