Art Deco Boat Stool, wood and brass, Italy, 1930s

This rare Art Deco stool, dating from the 1930s, features a striking combination of sculptural elegance and nautical functionality. Originally designed for use on boats, it embodies the streamlined aesthetic of the period with a flared conical brass base and a rounded wooden seat. The robust construction ensured stability at sea, while the refined materials highlight the sophisticated craftsmanship typical of the era.
Its silhouette resonates with the modernist pursuit of essential forms, recalling the contemporaneous works of Jean-Michel Frank and Jacques Adnet, where luxurious materials met pared-down geometry.
