Mid-Century Dark Wood Tripod Stool, Europe ca 1950s

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 stool is perfect to add visual interest to any space. From Charlotte Perriand to Axel Einar Hjorth, wooden stools have been staples in European, especially in Scandinavian design history.

With a highly functional history and modernist look, this stool is an organic and stylish piece. The seat has an asymmetrical shape, which is supported by three legs that widen towards the end. The separate elements are all rounded, resulting in an aesthetic that is typical of the mid-century era. The round shapes also complement the visually arresting pattern of the wood, especially on the seat, where the dark mark immediately stands out and makes the whole stool unique. In line with the simplicity and functionality of the mid-century, this stool entirely focuses on its solid wood material and well-crafted, but simple lines. This stool was evidently constructed with great care; the joinery is seamless, and the surfaces are very smooth even on the legs. The functionality, longevity and clean lines are all in favour of the user, maintaining the focus on authentic simplicity.

Being functional as well as aesthetically pleasing, this stool is a great addition to set the tone of a space. The design is strong but subtle, with expert craftsmanship, thanks to which it can add depth as well as functionality to a space.
