Each round cushion is upholstered in a graphic botanical print, with oversized leaves, blossoms, and berry sprigs in cream, oatmeal, and soft gray against a deep black ground. A fine, self-colored welt traces the edge, and the cushion has a softly crowned, tailored profile. Beneath it, a thick collar of stacked, rounded rattan rails forms a ribbed band that frames the seat like a tiered drum. Below the collar, the pedestal is built from tightly bundled pencil reeds laid in fine vertical lines, formed into a crossed, X-shaped base with crisp, squared-off planes and a gently chamfered foot. The reeds glow in honey, wheat, and caramel, with natural variation from strand to strand and a mellow, lightly burnished sheen. The contrast between the bold print and the warm, ribbed natural material feels modern, tactile, and unmistakably resort-chic. The pair is closely matched in form, finish, and fabric, and the patina is soft and consistent throughout.

Compact and versatile, these stools suit a living room, sunroom, bedroom, or entry, where they can serve as extra seating, footrests, or sculptural accents beside a sofa or fireplace. They complement Coastal, Boho Chic, Organic Modern, Palm Beach Chic, and Mid-Century Modern interiors. Each stool measures 15 inches (381 mm) wide, 13.5 inches (343 mm) deep, and 18.5 inches (470 mm) high. Condition is very good: the original rattan finish shows a warm patina with minor scuffs and light wear, and the upholstery is intact with no significant fading or stains. For care, dust the reed with a soft brush or vacuum attachment, spot clean the fabric gently, and keep away from prolonged direct sun and excess moisture. Inquire today to secure this striking pair.
