Midcentury Tripod Stool - I

This is the kind of stool that always ends up getting pulled closer. Found in Avignon and dating to the 1950s, it’s turned by hand with three rounded legs and a circular seat, joined by a central stretcher that anchors it in place. Pieces like this would have lived in kitchens or at small worktables, light enough to move, solid enough to stay. The wood has deepened over time into a rich, honeyed tone, with subtle variation across the seat and legs. Sylvie loves it tucked beside a chair, ready for a book, a glass, or whatever the evening turns into.
