This reminds me of the Romanian Pavilion at the 2008 Venice Architecture Biennale where tripod stools made by the "rudari" (peasant woodworkers) of Northern Oltenia, Romania were also exposed. The curator of the exhibition, arch. Serban Sturdza, declared in an interview that given it's half-moon shape this is a chair to sit and work, not to sit. There were also exposed some modern interpretations of this stool. You can find some pictures here http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/9/view/4068/venice-architecture-biennale-08-romanian-pavilion.html and a video from the exhibition back in Bucharest, Romania here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0fzy0pCdsk “Keep it simple” you might say.
