Produced in Italy, these stools reflect the mid-century interest in vernacular alpine craftsmanship combined with modernist principles of simplicity, function, and honest materials.

Each stool features a thick round solid wood seat supported by three slightly splayed cylindrical legs, assembled using traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery. The construction is sturdy and expressive, with visible joints that emphasize the handmade character of the pieces. The warm honey-brown patina enhances the natural grain, knots, and tonal variations of the fir wood, giving each stool a unique appearance shaped by time and use.

Inspired by mountain furniture developed for alpine interiors, these stools are highly versatile and can be used as seating, side tables, or accent pieces in modern, rustic, or minimalist interiors. Their compact proportions and sculptural presence make them suitable for both residential and hospitality settings.

Made in Italy in the 1960s, these stools embody the enduring appeal of mid-century rustic modern design associated with Charlotte Perriand’s alpine work. See less
