Brutalist Wooden Tripod Stool with Carved Heart Detail, Spain 1960s
-
Description
The essence of Brutalism lies in the celebration of raw materials and uncompromising forms, and above all, a prioritisation of function over adornment. Both visually and technically, this Spanish wooden stool from the 1960s celebrates the inherent beauty of the material, characteristic of Brutalism.
The aesthetic of this tripod stool is rooted in its raw surfaces, lack of overworked elements, and organic texture. In short, its beauty lies in the natural imperfections. The grain and texture of the wood becomes a central element of the piece, telling a story of time, growth, and resilience. Even at first glance, this stool has a startling rawness, but with its dark-toned and slightly asymmetrical body, it is a greatly-balanced piece. Crafted with an unwavering commitment to using nothing but wood, it exemplifies the artisanal skill of Spanish woodworkers. What sets this chair apart is the heart-shaped carving in the middle of the seat. This detail, while simple, lends the piece a charming, playful character. The boldness of the stool can be seen through its angularity, from the hexagonal shape of the seat to the unique form of the tapered legs. This piece brings together nature with the hand of a talented maker to capture the essence of beautiful design.
Today, as the creative world rekindles its romance with Brutalism, these mid-century pieces have become coveted treasures. This resurgence of interest can be attributed to a longing for honesty and authenticity in an era dominated by mass production. This stool showcases all these qualities, being a symbol of resilience, craftsmanship, and the enduring allure of simplicity.
