Charcoals Drawings "Industrial Swivel Stool" by Darren Orange

Offering a gorgeous drawing by Oregon artist Darren Orange.

• The drawing captures a stool with a central screw mechanism for height adjustment, a feature common in industrial or piano stools from the early 20th century.
• The style is reminiscent of etchings or technical drawings, highlighting the texture of the metal and the structure of the piece.
