Each piece showcases the raw beauty of the material, with visible grain, natural cracks, and an organic, monolithic form. Their geometry, both minimal and expressive, evokes the aesthetics of brutalist design and the wabi-sabi philosophy, where imperfections become a defining feature.

These stools blur the line between functional furniture and sculpture. Their ideal height allows them to be used as seating, side tables, or standalone decorative objects in a refined interior.

Reminiscent of the iconic Nagato model by Liaigre, these pieces offer a similar presence while retaining a more organic and artisanal character.

A rare and decorative pair, perfect for contemporary, minimalist, or rustic interiors.
