Solid Wood Brutalist Saddle Stool, France, 1950 French solid wood stool dating to 1950, constructed with a deeply shaped saddle seat, splayed legs and transverse stretchers. The substantial timber, visible tool marks and direct structural form give the piece a strong sculptural presence. Brutalist and rustic modern design. Suitable as occasional seating, a decorative side stool or a sculptural accent in a natural, modernist or wabi-sabi interior. Solid and freestanding, with surface wear, marks, tonal variation, small age-related splits and traces of use throughout. These details preserve the tactile character of the timber and its handcrafted construction. Protective pads have been fitted beneath the legs. It will be shipped exactly as shown in the photographs, so please examine all images carefully. The carved saddle-form seat, substantial solid-wood construction and individually worked surface distinguish this stool from conventional factory-made seating. Compact French Brutalist furniture remains of interest to collectors and interior designers seeking functional objects with pronounced material character. Dimensions: H 50 × W 49.5 × D 34 cm
