About the Item

The Matungo Stool by Inês Schertel is a compelling example of Brazilian contemporary modern design that marries traditional techniques with a modern aesthetic. Schertel is known for her use of natural materials and sustainable practices, often working with wool to create pieces that are both tactile and visually striking. The stool features a cylindrical cushion made from felted wool, showcasing a beautiful contrast of colors with its undyed natural tones. The felted wool is coiled around the seat, offering a textural richness that invites touch. This technique, likely achieved through the traditional process of hand felting, gives the stool an organic and cozy feel. The base of the stool is constructed from wood, with four sturdy legs that elevate the woolen seat. The wood appears smooth and is finished to bring out its natural grain and color, providing an earthy foundation that complements the natural wool. The simplicity of the wooden frame highlights the intricate details of the felted wool seat. From a design perspective, the stool embodies a minimalist approach, where every element is functional yet crafted with an eye for beauty. The legs are straight and unadorned, yet their precise positioning and the angle at which they extend from the seat suggest a careful consideration of stability and aesthetics. The Matungo Stool stands out for its blend of rustic charm and modern design principles. It respects the raw beauty of its materials while serving a practical purpose. This piece would fit seamlessly into a variety of interior spaces, from a rustic cabin to a sleek, modern apartment. In summary, Inês Schertel's Matungo Stool is a testament to the power of natural materials and traditional methods in contemporary design. It represents a thoughtful approach to furniture that is not only functional but also serves as a piece of tactile art, embodying the essence of Brazilian modernism with a global and timeless appeal.
