Stool - Wood - Rustic artisanal

Fascinating rustic wooden stool handmade with a robust and deliberately irregular construction, in which the marks of manual workmanship are still clearly visible. What particularly distinguishes this piece is its strong authentic character: the surfaces are not perfectly uniform, the wooden elements show slight differences in shape and thickness, and many parts retain carvings, tool marks, small gouges, and traces of the hand-made work. It is precisely these features, impossible to achieve identically in industrial production, that give the stool a unique personality.

Also very distinctive is the top surface, formed by wide wooden boards with irregular edges and a characteristic central opening that makes it easier to move; a functional element and at the same time a distinctive feature of the object. The surface bears a beautiful lived-in patina, telling of natural use over time.

The structure is very robust, stable, supported by four massive legs joined by reinforcing crosspieces. At the bottom there is a wide wooden shelf, also built with manually worked boards and battens: a detail uncommon in simple stools and which makes the object more interesting both from a construction and decorative standpoint.

Particularly evocative are also some linear motifs incised on the legs and crosspieces, together with the numerous traces left by the tools on the wood. These details contribute to emphasizing the rustic, handcrafted character of the piece.

The deliberately simple construction, the sturdy proportions, the natural patina, the imperfections, and the non-standardized workmanship make this stool a genuine piece of rustic furniture, very different from modern decorative reproductions.

It can be used not only as a stool but also as a small side table, a rustic bedside table, a decorative support, or a furniture element in a mountain house, farmhouse, tavern, cabin, country setting, or contemporary interior where one wishes to insert a piece with material presence and a strong personality.

Conditions are as documented in the photos.

Dimensions: height 43 cm, width 43 cm, depth 42 cm; weight about 5 kg.

The true value of this stool lies in its authenticity: every incision, irregularity, and mark left on the wood testifies to manual workmanship and makes the piece unique, unrepeatable, and endowed with strong decorative character.
