Merging hard and smooth materials in a design that recalls both the futuristic architecture of Oscar Niemeyer’s Parliament of Brazil and the sinuous curves of Oriental architecture, this stool's clean lines and basic color palette make it a special piece of functional decor. The dark-lacquered wooden seat sits atop a sculptural base composed of an ivory suede-covered column leg and a bronze-lacquered wooden bowl that convey minimalist elegance to this exclusive design by Stéphane Parmentier. The leather is also available in nappa and printed calfskin.
