Found in Avignon, this midcentury rush-seat stool follows a form long used in southern French homes as a small seat for kitchens, bedrooms, or work tables. The triangular woven rush seat sits on four slender wooden legs joined by simple stretchers, a construction common in provincial furniture where materials were practical and easy to repair. Rush seats like this were handwoven and could be replaced over time, which is why they appear so often in farmhouses and village homes. Sylvie loves it pulled up beside a desk or tucked next to a bathtub with a folded towel on top.
