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 bare, grained wood with no paint, and iron with stabilised rust. The surface tells its story of use with no restoration to mask it.

for its sober line, it serves as a kitchen stool, an extra seat or a support bench. It fits industrial, vintage and eclectic interiors, where it brings functional character and an honest patina.
