I crocheted a cover for a stool that I found on the curb. It was sturdy and the perfect height and shape for putting your feet up.

Unfortunately the material was cracked which was too bad because you could see that it was once beautiful.

Pierre Legrain (1889-1929) was born in Levallois-Perret, France. He convinced his wealthy parents to let him attend art classes at l’Ecole Germain Pilon. Although a gifted athlete, he suffered a torn aorta and was forced to suspend his athletic endeavors. When his father died, Legrain was forced to work for a living. He met French designer Paul Iribe (1883-1935), who was immediately impressed with Legain's artistic talent and education. Working as his assistant, Legrain acquired a wide range of skills in furniture, home furnishing, jewelry, and other decorative arts. During World War I, Legrain persuded the French Army to let him to enlist despite his damaged heart. During the war, he drew for a wide range of military publications. In 1919, he met French fashion designer and art collector Jacques Doucet (1853–1929), who commissioned him to design for furniture and a wide range of other objects. Legrain also hand-bound books for Doucent, and had an exhibition of his bindings at the 1920 Salon des Artistes Décorateurs. Legrain exhibited his furniture designs at a designer's salon in 1924, which proved a sensation. From 1925 until his untimely death from a heart attack in 1929, he focused on bookbinding and interior decoration.

 

This stool, almost identical to one made for Doucet, was produced about 1923. It is made of wood, lacquer, and sharkskin. Art Deco artisans were fascinated by African art, much of which was finally making its way to Europe as art (rather than the spoils of colonialism). The design of this stool is remarkably similar to a number of indigenous African pieces.

Ai Weiwei: Stools (Hocker) im Martin-Gropius-Bau. Berlin 2014.

In 1942 Mogens Lassen designed the Stool ML42 as a piece for a

furniture exhibition held at the Danish Museum of Decorative Art. He

took inspiration from the stools used by the shoemakers of the past,

and transferred the light, elegant look to the creation of this sculptural

three-legged stool. The Stool ML42 is still manufactured in Denmark

to this day with a focus on quality and Danish craftsmanship, and is

considered a collector’s item by international design connoisseurs.

We have a veritable surfeit of various stools, of a variety of sizes, some vintage, several very new. Do come and see!
