Guardian Stool with Handle by Patrick Norguet

For the Guardian stool, the concept of seating was reduced to its most minimal expression, reaching the greatest simplicity possible. A movable piece of furniture designed for occasional use and to be useful in any sort of context. Inspired by totemic headrests from Africa, it is reduced here to its most elementary function: supporting the body in a seated position. Its design borrows from the proud head of bull herds, while its name is a direct reference to the guardians of the Camargue.
