Table and Stool Set of 2 Whitewash Large

Two low forms in whitewashed albasia wood, each one a little different from the next. They work as a pair or apart, and they sit as comfortably beside a sofa as they do at the end of a bed or beneath a trailing plant.

What they are

A set of two stools in two sizes, cut from albasia wood and finished in a pale whitewash that lets the grain show through. The whitewash is soft rather than opaque, so the natural variation in the wood, knots, growth lines, slight shifts in tone, remains visible beneath it. Each piece is a simple, low form with a quiet presence.

How they work in a room

• Use them as a pair of side tables, one slightly taller than the other, for a layered look beside a reading chair or sofa.
• A single stool makes a natural plant stand, raising a pot to eye level or creating a stepped display with the second.
• The pale finish sits easily alongside linen, rattan, stone and other natural materials without competing.
• They are light enough to move between rooms as the day changes, from a morning corner to an evening arrangement.
• The two sizes together give a sense of composition without requiring anything else around them.

The wood and finish

Albasia is a fast-growing tropical timber from Indonesia, light in weight and with a fine, even grain. It takes paint and wash finishes cleanly, which is why it is widely used for furniture that relies on colour and form rather than the drama of a dense hardwood. The whitewash here is applied to let the grain breathe, not a solid coat, but a wash that settles into the surface and gives the wood a calm, bleached quality, somewhere between raw and painted.

Craft and origin

The set is made in Indonesia, where woodworking has been a central craft tradition across the islands for centuries. Low stools and small occasional tables appear throughout Indonesian domestic life, often in simple geometric forms that prioritise stability and ease of use. The clean lines of this pair sit within that tradition, functional in origin, quiet in character.

Living with wood

Wipe with a dry or lightly damp cloth. Keep away from prolonged damp or direct heat, which can cause the wood to swell or the finish to lift over time. The whitewash may soften slightly with age and handling, which tends to suit the look rather than work against it.

Size and what's included

A set of two stools in two sizes (large configuration). Both pieces arrive ready to place, no assembly required.

A considered gift

A good choice for someone moving into a new home, or for anyone who arranges and rearranges their space with care. The neutral finish and the set format make them adaptable to almost any room.

Common questions

Can they be used as seating?
The form is low and the legs are slender, so these are best treated as occasional tables or plant stands rather than everyday seating. They are not specified for load-bearing use.

Do they come assembled?
Yes, both pieces arrive ready to use straight away.

Will the two stools match exactly?
Because albasia is a natural material, there will be small differences in grain and tone between the two pieces. This is part of the character of the set rather than a flaw.
