This stool reflects the style africaniste popular in French decorative arts of the interwar period when designers such as Pierre Legrain and his contemporaries drew inspiration from African forms and materials. The geometric construction and dark ebonised finish lend the piece both sculptural presence and a restrained modernity. Related examples, often conceived as low stools or tabourets, were produced for avant-garde interiors in Paris during the 1920s and 1930s.
