Entirely hand-carved, the wooden structure features delicate details and a solid seat enriched by a beautiful "mezzo punto" (half-stitch) floral composition, carefully hand-embroidered.
A true testament to artisanal work, this piece has preserved all its original beauty and character over time. Its graceful lines and romantic spirit allow it to blend effortlessly into both modern and classical interiors.
Interestingly, similar forms have recently inspired contemporary design, even in 2025, when Dior opened a Mauro Colagreco restaurant and café in Bangkok featuring stools echoing this very aesthetic.
Solid, versatile and decorative, it can be used as a footrest, a small stool, or even as a unique bedside table. Why not place it in your bathroom to hold your towels, adding a soft and elegant touch?
A poetic and sophisticated accent piece, ready to bring charm and warmth into your home!
