About the Item
A striking piece of utilitarian design, this 1970s Portuguese stool is a brilliant example of functional repurposing and rural ingenuity. The seat, made from cast aluminum, originates from an old agricultural tractor and has been adapted onto a sturdy five-legged swivel base, likely salvaged from a workshop or machinist’s stool. The resulting form is sculptural, ergonomic, and unexpectedly elegant.
The organic curves of the saddle seat follow the contours of the body, offering comfort while preserving the raw, unpolished texture of its working past. Marks, scratches, and oxidation throughout speak to decades of labor and life outdoors — now transformed into a statement piece with brutalist soul and vintage industrial character.
Supported by a solid cast aluminum base with a steel column and mechanical height lever, the stool rotates and adjusts slightly. The contrast between the worn seat and architectural base gives it a strong presence, ideal for interiors that favor patina, character, and authenticity over polish.
Whether used in a studio, kitchen, or as a decorative sculptural object, this stool captures the spirit of honest design and reclaimed function. A one-off piece with tactile integrity and historical resonance.
