This is a striking pair of vintage woven stools that beautifully combine utilitarian design with a touch of Mid-Century Modern charm. Dating from around the 1960s–1970s, they feature a simple square frame made from solid wood that has been painted in a glossy black finish. The seats are woven from strong cord or rope in a bold pink tone, arranged in a lattice pattern that gives both strength and visual appeal. The angular lines of the frames paired with the colourful woven tops make them a piece which sits comfortably between rustic handcraft and modernist design.
The stools show age-appropriate wear consistent with its decades of use. The woven seats remain strong and intact, though the surfaces are faded and have light discolouration which adds character and charm, but is not as bold as the original; occasional markings on the seats too. The black-painted frames also has small scuffs and marks, particularly around the feet, which do not detract from its overall stability or charm but instead give it a well-loved vintage feel - you can see the quality rich brown wood under the paint. Structurally, they are still solid and sturdy, ready for continued use.
These versatile pieces can serve as small stools, side tables, or even as decorative plant stands. The compact proportions make them especially useful in smaller spaces, while the once bold colour and handcrafted quality ensure they stand out as a conversation piece. They would suit interiors styled with Mid-Century, Bohemian, eclectic, or retro design sensibilities.
These stools are super vintage accents for a 21st century home - great in a child's bedorom, playroom, kitchen, garden etc. Perfect as extra perch. Can be refurbed back to incredible design if you so wish or left as is. An affordable way to introduce authentic mid-20th century character into a home.
