Description from the seller
Designer Foldable Stool – Icon of Minimalist Mid-Century Modernism – Solid Beech Wood
Description of the object
Up for auction, a refined example of 20th-century functional design. This folding stool perfectly embodies the tenets of Modernariato, merging a rigorous aesthetic with an ingenious space-saving solution. This model stands out for a solid architectural structure and a smooth closing mechanism. The circular seat, carefully polished, features the iconic through-hole, a detail that is not only aesthetic but functional, allowing the object to be carried or hung with extreme ease once folded.
Main features
• Style: Mid-Century Modern / Minimalist.
• Material: Solid beech wood with a natural wax finish, which highlights its warm grain and organic texture.
Design: Crisscross-legged frame with concealed pins, designed to ensure maximum stability during use and minimum footprint (completely flat) when closed.
• Conditions: Excellent vintage condition. The wood shows a beautiful patina of time; the structure is solid and the closing mechanism works perfectly. Slight signs of use consistent with age that attest to its originality.
Dimensions
• Height: 45 cm
• Seat diameter: 32 cm
• Closed thickness: about 4 cm
