The stool is formed by two perpendicular planes of ebonized, stained solid plywood, creating a stark “T” shape. It utilizes a raw moose or elk antler as a third structural support, making each piece unique due to the natural variation of the antlers used.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER: Rick Owens is an American fashion designer based in Paris, globally recognized for his avant-garde aesthetic often described as “Glunge”—a fusion of glamour and grunge. His work is defined by architectural silhouettes, a monochromatic palette (primarily black), and a philosophy that rebels against traditional beauty standards.

ABOUT THE STYLE: Brutalist style is a mid-20th-century architectural movement (1950s-1970s) defined by raw, unadorned concrete (béton brut), massive monolithic forms, and functional, geometric designs. Emerging from post-war reconstruction in the UK, it prioritizes structural honesty, showcasing materials like concrete, steel, and timber without, or with minimal, decoration.
