Curved Saddle Stool.

A low reclaimed-wood stool with a sculpted curved saddle seat in single-slab wood, warm walnut tone with aged patina and visible grain. Four splayed turned legs, simple X-stretcher.

Primitive handcrafted character.

A piece for the centre of a room: walk around it, set a glass on it, leave it for a week — it will not complain.
