Hand-Forged Metal X-base Stool

Inspired by the sculptural works of Salvador Dalí and Diego Giacometti, our stool from Alexander merges the rustic sensibility of a hand-forged metal base with tailored upholstery. Employing an ancient fabrication process, artisans hand hammer the metal bars to reveal an alive, imperfect and organic texture, a counterpoint to the frame's slender, tapered silhouette.

Details

• Frame handcrafted of kiln-dried solid hardwood
• Reinforced joinery with corner blocking and mortise-and-tenon construction
• Sinuous spring suspension
• Curved, X-shaped base reinforced with a horizontal stretcher bar is forged of solid metal and hammered by hand
• This item is artisan crafted with meticulous care. Given its handmade and hand-finished nature, variations in the metal work are to be expected and celebrated. Each item is unique and no two are exactly alike.
