Description
Set of four stools in solid ash wood, fabric, and woven straw, Italian craftsmanship, design by Augusto Romano, 1950s.
This set of four stools features a beautiful and uncommon design, a refined example of Italian stylistic research from the 1950s. Crafted from solid ash wood, a material admired for its light color and pronounced grain, these stools reveal architectural ambitions upon closer inspection. The slender legs, sharp angles, and a backrest that rises like the pediment of a grand engineering masterpiece contribute to their unique character.
Adding lightness to the overall design is the Vienna straw element, a delicate material that harmonizes perfectly with the soft, padded seat. The seat is upholstered in a deep-shaded blue velvet, enhancing the stool’s elegance. The clean lines and thoughtful details point to the work of Augusto Romano, a renowned Italian designer celebrated worldwide for his distinctive furniture and objects, where materials like wood and straw blend seamlessly in exquisite synergy.
This set of stools is ideal for furnishing a home bar corner or a hospitality venue dedicated to welcoming guests.
