With rustic texture and simplicity of form, this petite 19th-century stool is a timeless example of casual seating in rural China. Crafted of northern elm (yumu) with mortise-and-tenon joinery, the low stool features a unique seat shaped like a crescent moon and three splayed legs linked with intersecting stretcher bars. The humble stool is well worn from time, with a softly faded top and traces of the original dark finish along the legs and sides.

Patrick Fitzgerald

b. 1962, Grand Rapids, MI

Chicago artist Patrick Fitzgerald refers to his body of work as his “Neighborhood of Infinity,” a borrowed term used literally to describe the bounty of materials and creative inspiration he found in the industrial landscapes of his youth. For the last decade, Fitzgerald has been mining his early experiences, re-envisioning the mechanical world of his childhood through the eye of an artist.
