LENGOLA - Superb Stool
Small seat with bold architecture.
Four stylized characters each reduced to a head and two limbs which join those of their neighbors to form a closed chain with very elegant interlacing.
We can see a Lengola seat with a very similar design in the work of ML Félix (page 76-77, n°3, see bibliography). Another stool in " L'Art Lega - Grandeur et Humility" page 454
Their art (and particularly this stool) has certain similarities with that of the Lega, located further east
