Woven Rush and Wood Stool, Europe ca 1950s
About the Item
From Charlotte Perriand to Axel Einar Hjorth, stools have been staples in European design history. Modernist stools, like this organic 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 is characteristically simple in its form with clean lines, organic materials, and robust legs. Like many of its Scandinavian contemporaries, this stool maker favoured the use of high-quality, beautifully grained wood and rush. This solid wood and rope stool stands out thanks to its seat, made of expertly woven rush. Stretched between the wooden frame, the seat’s texture and colour pairs beautifully with the wood. The rush weaving is exceptionally crisp, showcasing the layered pattern and the weaver’s skill equally. Furthermore, the seat has a subtle ergonomic shape thanks to the rush’s natural qualities to accommodate the sitter. The four, robust wooden legs are hand carved into their peculiar shape where only the outer side touches the floor, lifting the design up to create a light, effortless impression. Every functional part, including the thick legs, serve an aesthetic purpose as well. The lines are rounded out and complement the visually arresting pattern of the wood and the woven seat. 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 and rush material and well-crafted, hand woven seat.
Characterized by functionality, simplicity and clean lines, the design of this stool is all about harmony. Its organic charm is palpable and exudes a lot of charm. This model is the perfect piece to add some modern organic charm to any interior. The expertly woven rush seat and overall quality and craftsmanship guarantee longevity to this heirloom piece.
