Industrial adjustable metal stool, possibly French, in the manner of Nicolle, mid-20th century
An industrial adjustable metal stool, possibly French, of mid-20th-century date, constructed in steel with a circular seat and curved backrest. The stool is supported on splayed tubular legs joined by a stretcher, with a central screw-thread mechanism allowing for height adjustment. The restrained, functional form reflects workshop and atelier seating associated with French industrial designers such as Nicolle.
The surface retains an aged patina consistent with workshop use, adding to its utilitarian character. Comparable stools were used by draughtsmen, machinists and studio workers and are now sought after for their sculptural quality and honest industrial aesthetic.
