About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This authentic, handcrafted leather stool is a characteristic piece of early American Modernism, designed by two of the most influential figures of the New England School—Walker Weed and Gordon Keeler.
The piece embodies the organic modernism of the era: the airy lightness of the minimalist steel frame contrasts with the slightly concave seat made of wide, woven cowhide leather straps. The hand-stitched leather straps feel warm to the touch, and the patina gives the stool a unique, time-honored character.
The design is distinguished by its purist steel frame, functional aesthetic, and the fusion of modern craftsmanship typical of Walker Weed and Gordon Keeler. These pieces were produced in small series, often made to order, and are therefore rare on the international design market today.
