Description
The Ezio stool is a square seat of natural woven rattan, bordered in soft black leather and raised on a slim black iron frame. The contrast is the point: warm, textured rattan set against crisp black. By composition it is 50% iron, 30% leather and 20% rattan. It measures 40cm wide, 40cm deep and 41cm high. There is no backrest, so the seat height and the overall height are the same 41cm. If it is to sit roughly level with a sofa or armchair, measure the height of that seat and compare it with 41cm.
As occasional seating, this rattan and leather stool earns its place wherever a room needs an extra seat now and then: in the hallway while you pull on boots, at the end of a bed, or beside the sofa when friends come round. The frame is open, so the floor shows through it, which keeps it from looking heavy in a narrow hall or small bedroom. The honey-toned rattan and black leather sit well with other natural textures, such as a jute rug or woven baskets, and with black metal elsewhere in the room.
The rattan is woven in a close herringbone pattern, and the leather border carries visible stitching along its outer edge. Below the top, four slim legs drop to a square rail at floor level, so the frame reads as the outline of a cube. It needs no assembly, takes a maximum load of 100kg and is made in India. Rattan is the stem of a climbing palm and leather is a natural hide, so both vary a little in tone and grain from piece to piece. We would put it against a pale wall in a contemporary room, where the black frame shows up cleanly.

Frequently Asked
How much weight can the stool take?
Its maximum load is 100kg. That is the limit to stay within, so if it is to be used by someone heavier, a seat with a higher load rating would be the better choice.
Is it real leather and rattan?
Yes. The composition lists leather at 30% and rattan at 20%, with iron making up the other 50%. The leather forms the black border round the top, and the natural rattan is woven into the centre panel.
How big is it, and how high is the seat?
Overall it is 40cm wide, 40cm deep and 41cm high, and the seat itself measures 36 x 36cm. There is no backrest, so the seat height is the same 41cm.
Does it need assembling?
No assembly is needed, so the stool is ready to use as soon as it is out of its box.
Is the leather black or dark brown?
Black. The leather border and the iron frame are both black, and the woven rattan is a warm, natural tan, which is why the colour is listed as black and natural.
Is it sold singly or as a pair?
Singly: this is one stool, so order two if you would like a pair side by side at the foot of a bed.
