It originates from central europe, from the mid-twentieth century, within industrial furniture production.

industrial stools equipped factories, laboratories and production spaces, where a sturdy, easily maintained seat was sought. Their mixed iron-and-wood construction answered to intensive use.

the frame is iron, with reinforcing stretchers at the base and a seat of pine slats fixed to the structure. The construction is firm and the whole is stable.

the patina is lived-in: the frame keeps iron of dark patina, with no paint, and a seat of warm reddish tone. The surface tells its story of use with no restoration to mask it.

for its cubic format and low height, it serves as a low stool, a small side table or a footrest. It fits industrial, vintage and eclectic interiors, where it brings functional character and an honest patina.
