About this asset

This rustic natural wood log stool, provided as a 3ds Max model, features a raw organic form with a distinct vertical split detail. Crafted from a single solid timber log, this stool celebrates raw, organic material qualities through its exposed grain and natural bark-free finish. The cylindrical form is defined by a prominent vertical fissure that runs the full height of the piece, creating a striking visual break in the circular profile. The top surface displays clear annual growth rings, emphasizing the authentic, unprocessed aesthetic. Its proportions are compact, suitable for use as a low seat, a side table, or a decorative pedestal in various interior settings where a touch of nature is desired.

The download is a 3.1 MB compressed archive containing the native 3ds Max (.max) model, set up with Corona materials. Open it in 3ds Max with Corona installed; for other programs, export to FBX or OBJ from 3ds Max first.

When integrating this 3ds Max model into a project, ensure the object pivot is set to the base for easy placement on floor surfaces. Utilize the provided texture maps to maintain the integrity of the radial wood grain on the top and the vertical grain along the sides. Scale the model to fit your specific room requirements, as log stools vary significantly in diameter and height. Apply appropriate bump or displacement maps to enhance the tactile quality of the wood surface during the rendering process.

This stool serves as an excellent accent piece in rustic, wabi-sabi, or contemporary organic interior designs. It works well in living rooms as a side table, in bedrooms as a low bedside unit, or in boutique hotel lobbies to add natural texture. Designers often search for stump stools or organic wood seating to break up the clean lines of modern furniture. It pairs effectively with soft textiles like wool or linen, providing a grounded, tactile contrast within a space, particularly in residential or hospitality projects.
