Two Industrial Metal Workshop Stools, Mid-20th Century

Item Details

This pair of mid-20th-century industrial stools represents the utilitarian design standards of American laboratory and workshop environments. The first stool, manufactured by the Ajusto Equipment Company of Bowling Green, Ohio, features an innovative ebonized steel ‘Ajustrite’ base that allows for rapid height modification. Its unique four-legged splayed base provides exceptional stability for drafting or laboratory work. The second stool is a fixed-height model with a grey enameled finish and a tapered leg design. Both stools retain their original wood-composite seat insets, which show a rich, darkened patina from decades of use. Characterized by authentic surface rust and finish wear, this pair serves as a rugged example of Mid-Century Modern industrialism, emphasizing mechanical durability and functional simplicity.
