Jan Kalous Rattan Stool for ÚLUV, Czechoslovakia, 1960s

A rare and charming Czechoslovak mid-century rattan stool designed by Jan Kalous for ÚLUV in the 1960s. The stool features a beautifully handwoven circular rattan seat with a solid wooden center and a sculptural three-legged wooden base. The warm natural tones of the wood and rattan create a particularly appealing combination of organic material and restrained mid-century geometry. The simple, balanced silhouette reflects the elegant functionalism associated with Czechoslovak furniture design of the period. Its compact proportions make it suitable as an occasional stool, side table, plant stand or decorative accent. The piece retains its original construction and finish and is in good vintage condition, with visible signs of age and use that contribute to its authentic character and patina.
