Pair of Brutalist chiseled high stools

A pair of brutalist high stools dating from the 1950s, crafted from solid wood with a deep, warm hue. Each stool features a circular seat with slightly irregular edges, supported by four fully gouged legs that create a dynamic relief along their entire length. The legs are connected by equally crafted crosspieces that provide rigidity and stability. This meticulous chiseling work gives the stools a tactile and expressive texture, a signature of the brutalist aesthetic where the craftsman's hand asserts itself in each notch. These pieces are in keeping with the tradition of post-war french artisanal furniture, evoking aranjou work with their robustness and sculptural character. Their thoughtful construction demonstrates a craftsmanship where the raw material is sublimated by patient and precise work that highlights the natural qualities of the wood. Discovered on a farm in northern france, these high stools will bring an authentic presence to a contemporary or vintage interior. Their generous height makes them perfect for a kitchen counter, an artist's studio, or as a sculptural decorative element to display plants or objects. The wood has a dark patina, enriched by decades of use that have softened the edges while preserving the liveliness of the carvings. This satin finish gives the stools a warm presence that speaks to their history and highlights the craftsmanship. As visible in the photos, the tops show some signs of use and slight irregularities that add to their authentic character without compromising their functionality. The structure remains perfectly solid and stable, ready to begin a new life in your home. Dimensions seat diameter: 33.5 cm height: 85 cm base: 36 cm weight: approximately 7 kg per stool.
