Details
A hand-woven French rush stool in the manner of Adrien Audoux & Frida Minet, celebrated for their honest use of rope in the 1950s. This piece features a woven natural rush seat - its braid offers a sculptural geometry - and hand-carved hardwood legs joined by cross stretchers form a tripod. Each element is tactile and organic, revealing the maker’s hand and the quiet movement of natural materials. Perfect as a footstool, small children's stool, in a bathroom, or as a sculptural accent in a living space when you are missing that extra something. A piece that feels both coastal and timeless.
Listing is for one stool.

Style
In the spirit of French modernist designers Adrien Audoux & Frida Minet, this stool captures their signature balance of rustic craftsmanship and refined simplicity. Originating in the Côte d’Azur during the mid-20th century, their designs celebrated the beauty of natural rope, rush and timber - an enduring symbol of post-war modernism’s turn toward warmth and tactility.
Provenance
France, circa 1950s
Condition
Excellent Condition - Exceptionally preserved with minimal signs of wear. Surfaces remain clean and strong, showing only the faintest trace of history. The rush seat is well maintained and the hardwood frame retains its natural patina and carving marks.

A Note on Character & Age
Each vintage and antique piece in our collection carries its own history - a quiet record of time, craftsmanship, and use. These are not new items; their gentle imperfections, subtle marks, and rich patina are part of what make them unique and beautiful.
We see these characteristics not as flaws, but as evidence of a life well-lived - the depth and texture that only age can bestow. Minor variations from the images may occur, reflecting each piece’s singular story. Unless otherwise stated, all sales are final.
