Helios Olive Velvet Stool

Simple but striking stool echoing the restrained geometry of Art Deco furniture, where designers such as Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann (1879-1933) favoured clean silhouettes and plush upholstery. Ruhlmann was universally acknowledged as the greatest French cabinet-maker of his generation, his characteristic use of richly upholstered seats on slender, tapering legs, a form that combined visual elegance with a quality of barely contained opulence, establishing a furniture language whose influence on subsequent decorative design has been continuous and profound. Upholstered in olive green chenille velvet on four pine feet with black paint finish. A beautiful and practical addition to any room, and a lovely gift for any admirer of Art Deco design at its most quietly assured.
