"Retombante" Stool
Designer Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann French
Not on view
The model name refers to this stool’s unusual shape. Its minimal sloping back support—really just an extension of the unusually deep seat—gives the impression that anyone sitting too far back might easily fall off. The legs lend a somewhat anthropomorphic aspect to the piece, accentuated by the velvet upholstery imitating fur.
