The Shoemaker No. 68 Stool by Form & Refine has a familiarity to it, as if it has always existed in some form or another. The gently contoured seat, shaped to follow the body, gives it an immediate sense of comfort, while the overall silhouette remains simple and quietly confident. It’s a piece that doesn’t need to draw attention to be appreciated.

Made from solid wood, the stool reflects a focus on craftsmanship and material honesty. The seat is carefully carved rather than assembled, allowing the grain to move naturally across the surface, while the turned legs introduce a subtle rhythm without feeling decorative. There’s a clarity in how it’s made — everything is visible, nothing unnecessary added.

Used at a kitchen counter, pulled up to a table, or placed on its own, it adapts without effort. Over time, it feels less like an object and more like a familiar part of the space — something that’s simply always there, ready to be used.
