It represents a perfect example of honest craftsmanship, where late decorative geometry blends with the functional simplicity of the modern era. The core of the stool consists of a sturdy solid beech wood construction, providing excellent structural strength and stability. The circular seat is set upon a stable four-legged base featuring dynamically tapered legs, giving the entire piece a light and elegant flair. As part of a comprehensive restoration, the original wood polish was sensitively revived on all wooden components. The wood has regained its warm, naturally bright tone with a silky luster, while fully preserving its subtle vintage texture. The stool features a robust iron threaded lifting mechanism for height adjustability, allowing smooth raising and lowering of the seat ranging from 47 to 66 cm (18.5" to 26"). The mechanism has been completely cleaned, lubricated, and is fully functional. This aesthetically clean and beautifully restored statement piece will serve perfectly not only by a piano but also as a stylish desk stool, an original counter element, or a unique accent stand in both modern and retro-inspired interiors.
