About the Item

Form and function collide in this stool, a piece of furniture that is often underestimated. Designers define stools as jewels and statements in a space, and taking practicality into account, this bamboo and wicker stool is perfect to add visual interest to any space. Stools have been staples in European design history, Italy being no exception. The country developed its own, distinctive style, where traditional Italian artisanship was met with a luxurious look and quality. This organic stool is very versatile, serving double duty as a movable stool or a small table. The design is governed by the materials, namely bamboo and wicker. Because of their ease and durability, these materials are typically associated with mundane outdoor furniture, however, for the past few years they have been having a revival. Not to be confused with rattan, bamboo is a lot stiffer and does not bend easily. For this reason, the skeleton of this stool is composed of bamboo with wicker used as joinery. Wicker is in fact a style of weaving, and here, it is made from bamboo strips. Thanks to this, the impression is uniform and has great strength and a unique aesthetic. It features a classic round shape with a spiralling top and airy look. The structure is just as well-thought-out as the visual appearance, with bamboo parts supporting the stool from the inside. The design is a blend of old and new: a classic furniture silhouette paired with an organic material and the highest quality of craftsmanship. The round silhouette lends itself to a playful, artful, and frivolous spirit. Tito Agnoli designed prolifically in the fields of furniture, creating designs for luxury Italian brands such as Arflex, Bonacina and Matteo Grassii among others. His most famous models all date to the 1960s, including his beautiful wicker models. Being functional as well as aesthetically pleasing, this stool is a great addition to set the tone of a space. The design stands out despite its light feel achieved by the expert wickerwork thanks to which it can add depth as well as functionality to a space. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The bamboo has some marks.
