Sculptural Stone Seat with Twisted Base

A sculptural stone seat cut from a single block, its base twisting upward in a helix that rises into a flat seat; among the architectural elements in our yard it is the one people sit on without asking. The stone is dark charcoal and ash gray with a deeply textured surface, lighter chalky tones coming through on worn edges and exposed planes. Deep diagonal tool marks run across the body and follow the rotation, so the form seems to turn as you walk around it.

It is 15 inches deep and 24 inches high, a stool rather than a bench, and solid all the way through, so it is heavy for its size. It stands on any level floor without fixing.

Put it in a dressing room or a bathroom against smooth tile and soft textiles, where the rough stone is the only hard thing in the room; set it in a gravel garden beside a fire pit; or stand it against a weathered stone wall as a seat that doubles as sculpture. Of the architectural elements we carry, it is one of the few you can use every day. It is in our yard in Marina Del Rey; come and sit on it, or ask us for photographs and a quote.
