About the Item

From our series inspired by the sturdy anatomy of horses and their role in Mexican culture, the caballito stool celebrates the unexpected lush of horsehair by weaving it into a seat. The seat is handwoven by the Rodríguez Family in Tlajomulco, Jalisco. Horsehair is a highly resistant material, however, this petatillo-style weaving is not recommended for heavy-duty use, try our Cuaco model instead. Caballito seats are available in brown and black (sadly, lighter hair is rarely available in the lenght necessary for this model). Under request, we can also shorten the hair. The solid wood stool is turned in solid parota wood by the Ramírez Family in Bahía de Banderas, Nayarit. Parota wood is dark, and highly resistant to insects, some lighter veins or darker graining may occur: it's the beauty of the material. No horses are harmed during the extraction of their hair.
