Form and function collide in this stool, a piece of furniture that is often underestimated. Designers define stools as jewels and statements in a space, and taking practicality into account, this stool is perfect to add visual interest to any space. From Charlotte Perriand to Axel Einar Hjorth, wooden stools have been staples in European, especially in Scandinavian design history.

With a highly functional history and modernist look, this stool is a rare and stylish piece. The seat has a round and large seat to accommodate the sitter, which is supported by three legs that widen towards the end. The separate elements are all rounded, resulting in an aesthetic that is typical of the mid-century era. The round shapes also complement the visually arresting pattern of the oak, especially on the seat, where the grain immediately stands out. In line with the simplicity and functionality of the 1950s, this stool entirely focuses on its solid wood material and well-crafted, but simple lines. This stool was evidently constructed with great care; the joinery is seamless, and the surfaces are very smooth even on the legs. The maker of this stool not only had a preference for its main characteristics and material, but a deep respect as well. The functionality, longevity and clean lines of this oak stool are all in favour of the user, maintaining the focus on authentic simplicity.

Being functional as well as aesthetically pleasing, this stool is a great addition to set the tone of a space. The design is strong but subtle, with expert craftsmanship, thanks to which it can add depth as well as functionality to a space.
