Vintage industrial stool made of pine wood and iron – Central Europe, around 1950

This vintage industrial stool made of pine wood and iron features a tubular iron structure and a slatted pine seat. It originates from Central Europe, dating back to the mid-20th century, within the production of industrial furniture. Industrial stools were used in factories, laboratories, and production spaces, where a durable and easy-to-maintain seat was sought. Their mixed construction of iron and wood was designed for intensive use. The structure is made of iron, with reinforcing crossbars at the base and a slatted pine seat fixed to the frame. The construction is sturdy, and the whole piece is stable. The patina is well-worn: the structure retains remnants of faded blue paint on the iron and wood. The surface tells its story of use, without any restoration that would mask it. With its simple design, it can be used as a kitchen stool, extra seating, or a support bench. It fits into industrial, vintage, and eclectic interiors, where it adds functional character and an honest patina. Details. Dimensions: Length 36 cm – Depth 34 cm – Height 49.5 cm. Style: Industrial.
