Organic Mid-Century Solid Wood Stool, Europe ca 1950s

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
The design of this European stool is characterized by a minimal, clean approach that seeks to combine functionality with beauty. Its focus is on simple lines and light spaces, devoid of clutter. Accordingly, form and function collide in this stool.

From Charlotte Perriand to Axel Einar Hjorth, wooden stools have been staples in European design history. With a highly functional history and modernist look, this stool is a stylish piece. The seat has a very simple, circular shape, which is supported by three legs that widen towards the end. The edges are rounded, resulting in an aesthetic that is typical of the mid-century era. The round shape also complements the visually arresting pattern of the wood, especially on the seat, where the grain immediately stands out. This stool shares visual characteristics with modernism: it entirely focuses on its solid wood material and well-crafted, but simple lines. There was evidently a lot of care put into the construction; the joinery is seamless, and the surfaces are very smooth even on the legs. The maker of this stool not only had a preference for its main characteristics and material, but a deep respect as well.

The functionality, longevity and clean lines of this solid wood stool are all in favour of the user, maintaining the focus on authentic simplicity. The appreciation of rustic simplicity and craftsmanship has never completely gone out of style, but in recent years, it saw an increase. Adding organic pieces, like this stool to a modern interior can create a diverse and interesting aesthetic with just one item.
