Trio of handcrafted blond wood stools

A set of three handcrafted blond wood stools dating from the 1960s and 1970s, characterized by their rectangular top with slightly beveled corners and their minimalist structure. Each stool features a simple geometric construction with two side panels connected by a central crosspiece that provides both rigidity and a clean aesthetic. A semicircular cutout at the bottom of each side adds a touch of lightness to the ensemble. These pieces are a testament to post-war french rural utilitarian furniture, where functionality took precedence over ornamentation. Their handcrafted design reveals traditional craftsmanship where each element is designed to ensure robustness and intensive daily use. Sourced from a long-closed bar in eastern france, these sturdy stools have lived an authentic life before arriving at your home. They can be used as small occasional benches, coffee tables, plant/decor stands, or even as step stools in a library, bringing a touch of raw authenticity to your interior. The wood has a beautiful light patina with natural variations, some parts having acquired a grayish tint that contrasts delicately with the lighter areas, creating a nuanced appearance that reinforces their authentic character. This palette of light tones, the result of decades of exposure and use, brings a visual depth that will blend harmoniously into contemporary or vintage interiors. As visible in the photos, the stools show many signs of use, particularly on the tops, testifying to their history in a public establishment. One of them has a damaged edge along the length of the upper plate. These marks of time constitute the memory of these pieces without compromising their functionality. The structure of each stool remains perfectly stable and solid. Dimensions length: 51 cm width: 29 cm height: 36 cm.
