Found in Avignon, this 20th-century wooden stool is the kind of small, hardworking piece every house had a few of. Stools this low did a hundred small jobs, a step up to a high shelf, a footrest by the fire, a seat for a child, a stand for a basin or a pot. The arched cutouts in the legs are part decoration and part design, leaving two feet at each end so it sat steady on a floor that was never quite level. Sylvie likes it as a step stool beside the tub, or as a low riser to lift a plant or a stack of books on an open shelf.
