The Repoussé Stool celebrates one of the oldest metalworking traditions in human history through a contemporary lens. Its sculptural base is formed from hammered copper, drawing on the ancient technique of repoussé, an art of shaping and ornamenting metal through careful handwork that traces its origins to some of the earliest civilizations of the Iranian plateau.
Above, a button-tufted upholstered cushion provides a soft counterpoint to the expressive character of the metal below. The dialogue between tactile upholstery and richly worked copper creates a balance of comfort and craft, allowing the stool to function as both a utilitarian object and a vessel of cultural memory. Through the convergence of traditional techniques and contemporary form, the piece reflects an enduring relationship between material, hand, and history.
