Item Description
An authentic Mid-Century Italian industrial stool by Mautren, showcasing the honest character and rich patina that only decades of use can create. Constructed from pressed and welded steel, the stool retains its original industrial form while its surface tells a unique story through multiple layers of paint applied over time. Originally finished in blue/green, the stool seat has been repainted throughout its working life in varying shades of blue and green, resulting in a beautifully textured, timeworn surface with areas of wear, scratches, and paint loss. Rather than being restored, these accumulated layers have been preserved, celebrating the object’s utilitarian history and giving it a distinctive one-of-a-kind appearance. With its robust construction and minimalist silhouette, the stool is equally suited as occasional seating, a side table, or a sculptural accent in industrial, modern, or eclectic interiors. It remains structurally sound and stable, with wear throughout that is consistent with its extensive use and age. A compelling example of Mid-Century Italian industrial design by Mautren, prized for its authenticity, character, and beautifully weathered finish.
