An iconic Miss Judith stool designed in 2004 by Judith de Graauw for Montis. This sculptural seat is a striking example of early 21st-century Dutch design, where experimentation with form, tactility, and humor results in a piece that transcends conventional furniture categories.
The stool’s organic, almost creature-like silhouette is immediately recognizable. Upholstered in supple leather with pronounced stitched contours, the form reads as both soft and architectural. The flowing, hand-like base supports a gently domed seat, creating a visual tension between stability and playfulness. Black piping accentuates the outlines, emphasizing the graphic quality of the design and its carefully considered construction.
Conceived as a limited and highly experimental object within Montis’ progressive design program, the Miss Judith stool is exceptionally rare on the market. It occupies a space between functional seating and autonomous sculpture, making it a compelling statement piece for collectors of contemporary design and postmodern-influenced forms.
A museum-worthy object with strong character, rarity, and unmistakable presence.
