Vintage industrial stool made of pine wood and iron – Central Europe, around 1950

This vintage industrial stool made of pine wood and iron features a tubular iron structure and a slatted pine seat. It originates from Central Europe, dating back to the mid-20th century, during the production of industrial furniture. Industrial stools were used in factories, laboratories, and production spaces, where a durable and easy-to-maintain seat was sought. Their mixed construction of iron and wood was designed for intensive use. The structure is made of iron, with reinforcing crossbars at the base and a slatted pine seat fixed to the frame. The construction is sturdy, and the whole piece is stable. The patina is well-worn: the structure retains a seat of worn slats and a brown-toned iron frame. The surface tells its story of use, without any restoration that would mask it. With its simple design, it can be used as a kitchen stool, extra seating, or a support bench. It fits into industrial, vintage, and eclectic interiors, where it adds functional character and an honest patina. Details. Dimensions: Length 36 cm – Depth 36 cm – Height 50 cm. Style: Industrial.
