About the Item
A beautiful and exceedingly rare stool from the mid 1960s by Finnish designer Perttu Mentula for Artek. This "active man stool" as it was called was only produced for a short time in the mid 1960s by Artek.
The light weight stool was marketed as a stool for the active person and worked perfect for saunas and beaches. It has handles that enable a proactive approach to exercising rather than just sitting. The sketches attached are by Perttu Mentula himself and were published in an article about the stool in "beautiful house" magazine in 1965.
Perttu Mentula (1936-2009) was a Finnish interior architect, furniture and textile designer. He was one of the most important names in plastic furniture design. Mentula held many awards both localy and internationally from Japan to Denmark and most notably the 1965 Milano Triennale.

Beautiful Bertel Gardberg Pine Doughnut Sauna Stool, Normark 1950s
By Bertel Gardberg
Located in Helsinki, FI
A "Sauna" stool designed by Bertel Gardberg in Finland in the 1950s. The stool is varnished pinewood and it has 4 parts: three legs and a round hollow seat with a hole in the middle. Simple, elegant and quite minimalistic. The piece is in great condition with signs of wear and use consistent with age. The stool is very sturdy and sits firmly in place. Although this was mainly intended as a sauna stool, it can of course be used in almost any room in the household. The design, which is based on old traditional folk stools, will stand out in any interior. As is evident from the pictures and video, no need for nails or screws here.
Bertel Gardberg (1919-2007) was a well renowned Finnish designer and a silversmith. His multiple recognitions include multiple Grand prizes at the Milan Triennale's, some prestigious Finnish honorary titles and a number of other recognitions. In the 1950s Garberg acted as the head designer for the Galeries Lafayette in...
