Set of Three Rush-Seat Nesting Stools,

This set of three nesting stools features handwoven rush seats combined with slender solid wood frames. The seats are woven in a structured diagonal pattern, forming a shallow central depression, while the turned legs and simple stretchers emphasize lightness and proportion. The stools are designed to nest closely, reflecting a functional and space-efficient approach to seating.
