An iconic rattan stool from the 1950s, sourced in Sorrento, Italy. There’s no maker’s mark but was told it was by Italian designer, Franco Albini. This stool is very sturdy and can be used as seating as well as a side table or as a plant stand.
Franco Albini (1905- 1977) apprenticed under master architect-designer Gio Ponti, and played a key role in formulating the Rationalist movement in Italy prior to World War II. Throughout the post-war era, Albini continued to create furniture and architecture aimed at purity of expression through modularity and affordable materials. While his work tends toward formal reduction, it also maintains a warmth and charm that stems from his enduring respect for context and tradition.
