This wonderfully quirky folk stool was fashioned from the forgotten vocabulary of early 20th century agriculture: an iron tractor seat perched atop three weathered iron horse hames, all brought together with simple iron stretchers in a construction that feels as practical as it does poetic.

Born from necessity rather than design, it carries the charm of objects made by hand, on the farm, with whatever was close at hand. The silhouette is unexpected, the materials are honest, and the imperfections are precisely what give it character. Equal parts utilitarian relic and found-object artwork, this stool celebrates the resourcefulness of American makers who transformed everyday tools into something new. Perfectly American, perfectly folky, and perfectly imperfect. See less
