Product description

Greek walnut, leather
221⁄2l x 221⁄2w x 16.51⁄2h
Robsjohn-Gibbings designed at least seven versions of the Diphros, with design details
ranging from rounded to square. This is one of the most formal examples with a columnar leg which flattens out at the foot, and is capped by a large circular head. In only a few of the stool designs does Robsjohn-Gibbings utilize the webbed thong design seen here.
The thongs are looped around the stretchers and threaded through the adjacent hole. The effect is a tightly patterned grid inset from the outer edge. Labeled with a brass plaque.
