Know before you buy
It is designed as a functional piece of furniture. While it serves beautifully as a decorative accent or side table, its stoneware construction is sturdy enough for regular use as a seat.
The matte finish is durable and easy to maintain. Simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth as needed; avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemical cleaners that could compromise the glaze.
Because each piece is hand-thrown and hand-glazed, you should expect slight variations in the striped pattern and finish. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and make each stool unique.
Stoneware is a dense, heavy material, which provides excellent natural stability. It is well-suited for use on hardwood, though you may want to add felt pads to the base if you are concerned about potential scratching.
The 'Naked' option features the raw, unglazed stoneware surface. This highlights the natural texture and earthy tone of the clay, offering a more minimalist, organic aesthetic compared to the glazed versions.
