About the Item

This stool is aesthetically, a tempered Modernism in design: clean forms without exaggeration with the high-quality work of Danish cabinetmakers. Humble in its material and size, this pine stool still draws attention thanks to its distinctive look and personality. In the absence of heavy ornamentation, this stool takes pride in its material’s natural qualities. Pine wood became the bamboo of the north in the sense that it lasts at least a hundred years — that’s how long it takes for a pine tree to grow into the lengths when it’s ready to harvest. With its restrained, light colour palette peppered with gnarly knots, pine furniture have been favoured in Scandinavia for centuries and there is a contemporary renewal of interest and appreciation as well. This tripod stool shows why: standing on tapered legs, the seat displays the beautiful patterns of the wood and the simple, elemental joinery technique. The distinguishing feature however, is the shape of the seat. The front side is scalloped with gently rounded edges, creating a modern, stylish look. The construction strips back the unnecessary, showcasing only the essential elements of it. The wood is left in its natural form as much as possible, while also prioritizing functionality and longevity. Alongside the touchstones of simplicity, functionality, and comfort, Danish design utilizes light, creates use of natural materials, and integrates with nature. This sort of northern minimalism allows people to invite peace into their home without creating a space that is uninviting or cold. Similarly, this stool is full of vitality without being chaotic or overworked. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Some small scratches and marks on the wood. Dimensions: 16.73 in W x 13.18 in D x 14.17 in H 42.5 cm W x 33.5 cm D x 36 cm H.
