About the Item

Pierre Gautier-Delaye “Coffee Bean” Stool in Stained Beechwood, France, 1960s A rare and honest piece of mid-century French design, this “Coffee Bean” stool by Pierre Gautier-Delaye, crafted in the 1960s, is a testament to thoughtful construction and modest beauty. Executed in stained beechwood, it reflects the same artisanal quality and minimalist ethos that define Gautier-Delaye’s most celebrated works. The stool features a rectangular seat composed of two subtly curved slats, joined with precision and softened by rounded edges. Its four cylindrical legs taper ever so slightly and are joined by expertly fitted woodwork, showcasing visible joinery that celebrates the handmade nature of the piece. With its warm, aged patina and gently worn surface, the stool exudes authenticity and character. Measuring 33 cm wide, 33 cm deep, and 40 cm high, this piece offers versatile functionality — equally suited as a side stool, footrest, plant stand, or casual seat in any living space. It brings a natural warmth and sculptural presence without overwhelming the environment, making it an excellent addition to both modern and rustic interiors. This stool is part of Gautier-Delaye’s broader “Coffee Bean” series, which includes dining chairs and a dining table — both available in our other listings. Together, these pieces form a cohesive ensemble, ideal for collectors or designers seeking an authentic and complete mid-century French dining setting. Pierre Gautier-Delaye studied at the Paris School of Decorative Arts and began his career working in the studio of Raymond Loewy before launching his own practice. His work is prized for its honest materials, restrained forms, and refined construction. An understated yet iconic piece, this “Coffee Bean” stool reflects the quiet confidence of postwar French design and offers enduring appeal for contemporary interiors.
