Featuring French designer Charles Dudouyt’s signature style, this stool melds seamlessly with a variety of trends thanks to its elegant sense of lavishness. As a major figure in early 20th-century French design, Dudouyt was known for his ability to combine French elaborate classicism and more modernist sensibility. The wooden form is elemental, enhanced by the sculptural carvings.

Dudouyt favoured simple, geometric forms and often incorporated decorative elements, such as inlaid marquetry or sculpted details. This stool is beautifully crafted from exquisite oak and woven rush. While mid-century design is generally restrained, woodworking often showed off the skills of the craftsman. The seat is made of durable woven rush, with a light colour. The pairing of the two natural materials combined with the beautiful decorative carvings are all features that make this stool visually arresting. At the heart of the stool’s charm lies the exquisite wooden detailing and impeccable quality. Each leg is skilfully chiseled to form a turned look, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail of the maker. The woodworking employed in crafting this stool results in sturdy yet lightweight structures, capable of withstanding the test of time while retaining its graceful silhouette.

Designers define stools as jewels and statements in a space, and taking practicality into account, this stool is the perfect addition of visual interest to any space. While stools vary in appearance and use, those produced in the mid-century are the highest regarded in terms of design and quality.
