Rare French Tripod Stool in Metal and Rush, 1950s

Discover this striking and rare French tripod stool, dating from the 1950s. This piece stands out for its light, architectural silhouette, combining slender black metal legs with a handwoven rush seat. The addition of a minimal metal backrest gives it an almost chair-like presence, while maintaining the simplicity and balance of a stool. The triangular composition of the legs creates a dynamic, airy structure, contrasted beautifully by the warmth and texture of the woven seat. Subtle irregularities in the rush weaving and the aged patina of the metal frame add depth and authenticity. Both functional and sculptural, it works perfectly as a small occasional seat, side piece, or accent object, bringing character without visual weight. An elegant and uncommon example of French mid-century design, where craftsmanship and restraint meet in a highly refined form. Measurements: H 55 x W 42.5 x D 46 x SH 37.5 cm
