Qiang 120 Elm Wooden Stool

The Qiang Elm Stool in Natural is a small solid elm stool, turned from a single piece rather than assembled from parts. It works as a seat, a plant stand or a surface beside a chair. The grain runs through the whole piece, so no two are identical.

A stool turned from one piece of timber is a different object from one built from a top and legs. There is no joint to loosen, and the grain runs continuously through the seat and down the base, which is what makes each one look slightly different.

Elm has an open, wavy grain that reads more strongly than oak or ash, so this is a piece that draws the eye rather than receding. Beside a plain chair that works; in a room already full of pattern it competes.

Measurements are not stated here. Whether this ends up a seat or a plant stand comes down to how high it stands, so that is the figure to ask us for.
