Alhambra Small Stool with Silk Top

Seventeen inches each way, and not a single one of them wasted.

This Alhambra small stool with silk top is a contemporary piece from the Primitive Collection, made of huali. Huali, a fragrant rosewood, has been prized in Chinese furniture for centuries, and its clean lines suit spare, modern forms. A dark wooden frame stands on four round legs, linked by stretchers that run around all four sides. A thick padded cushion covered in red silk sits squarely on top. It measures 17 inches long, 17 deep and 17 high.

Small enough to move, smart enough to stay.
