This striking work blurs the line between furniture and sculpture, showcasing van de Ven’s unique approach to form, balance, and materiality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe stool is beautifully constructed from rich panga panga wood — an exotic African hardwood prized for its dramatic grain — paired with a bold, cast aluminum structure that acts as both support and visual statement. This masterful interplay of warm organic wood and cool industrial metal is a hallmark of van de Ven’s limited work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlthough the edition is technically numbered 1\/15, the artist has confirmed that only 6 pieces were ever produced, making this an exceptionally rare find for collectors and design connoisseurs.

His work emerged during the 1990s when he explored limited-edition and one-off pieces that challenge conventional ideas of seating and form. Van de Ven’s rare pieces are held in private collections worldwide and are seldom seen on the market, making this a remarkable acquisition for collectors of contemporary collectible design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColors may slightly vary due to photographic lighting sources or your monitor settings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear consistent with age and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe ship worldwide.
