Fonterra Stool

The Fonterra Stool from Four Hands showcases solid oak construction through a cradle base design that connects tapered posts with curved stretchers. The light oak finish highlights the wood's natural grain patterns while maintaining the piece's heritage-inspired character. Four cylindrical legs provide stable support while the curved base elements add visual softness to the otherwise geometric form. Traditional woodworking techniques create joinery that emphasizes the material's natural strength, resulting in seating that honors classical proportions while serving multiple functional needs.
