The diphros stool features simple, elegant lines, X-shaped brass legs, a brass stretcher, and brass studs that attach the leather seat to the wood frame. It’s a perfect example of Gibbings' love for classical antiquity combined with modern design sensibilities.

The leather top has beautiful patina and has softened with a slight dip in the center, which shows its use over the years. The stool is versatile and can be used as a small bench, side table, or decorative accent in living spaces.

The bench was acquired from the original owner's estate on Chicago's North Shore.

This is the largest stool/bench that I've seen online. The others have been 22," which makes this extra special and collectible. less
