About the Item

From Charlotte Perriand to Axel Einar Hjorth, pine stools have been staples in European design history. Modernist stools like this French model, stem from one of the earliest forms of seating, the milking stool. With a highly functional history and modernist look, this stool is a rare and stylish piece. The design recalls the architecture of Japanese Shinto shrines and Torii gates. Long after the emergence of Japonisme, French designers and craftsmen were still inspired by the construction techniques and look of the Asian country. The seat has an ergonomic shape to accommodate the human body, which is supported by four legs connected by stretchers in all directions. Every functional part, including these stretchers between the legs serve an aesthetic purpose as well. The lines are crisp, and complement the visually arresting pattern of the wood, especially on the seat, where the grain immediately stands out. The core principle of modernist design emphasizes that one should be in harmony with his or her environment, which therefore needs to be free of anything unnecessary. In line with this sentiment, this stool entirely focuses on its solid wood material and well-crafted, but simple lines. Characterized by functionality, simplicity and clean lines, this stool’s design is all about harmony. The maker of this model not only had a preference for its main characteristics and materials, but a deep respect as well. The functionality, longevity and clean lines are all in favour of the user, maintaining the focus on authentic simplicity. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use.
