Adrien Audoux & Frida Minet Woven Raffia Tripod Stool, France, 1950s

An iconic tripod stool designed by Adrien Audoux and Frida Minet, France, circa 1950.

Celebrated for their pioneering use of natural materials, Audoux & Minet created furniture that combined rustic simplicity with refined modern design. Their work, distinguished by handwoven raffia and sculptural wooden forms, has become emblematic of French mid-century craftsmanship.

This example features a beautifully handwoven raffia seat resting on a sculptural three-legged solid wood base. The bold braided weave creates remarkable texture and visual depth, while the softly tapered legs lend the design an elegant, organic presence. The harmonious balance between natural materials and sculptural form is characteristic of Audoux & Minet’s most celebrated creations.

Equally suited as a stool, occasional seat, or sculptural accent, the piece brings warmth, texture, and timeless sophistication to both modern and traditional interiors.

Excellent vintage condition with a beautiful patina consistent with age and careful use.
