About the Item

Throughout the 20th century, Scandinavian designers developed a reputation for their devotion to honest materials, functional forms, and a deep respect for traditional craftsmanship. Norwegian furniture makers in particular often took cues from rural design, interpreting it through a modern lens to create pieces that balanced simplicity and comfort. Krogenæs, a Norwegian workshop, embraced these high-quality, yet utilitarian values in their design language and material choices. This low wooden stool reflects this commitment with clarity and character. This piece features a sturdy, solid oak base with gently tapered legs and stretcher that reinforce its stability while also adding a subtle rhythm to the silhouette. The wood has been left with a natural finish that highlights its warm tone and visible grain. Resting atop the wooden base is a generously padded seat upholstered in soft off-white sheepskin, giving the stool an inviting texture and a tactile contrast to the structured frame beneath. The sheepskin not only softens the profile but also offers comfort and warmth, both physically and aesthetically. Stools have long been versatile furnishings, used across cultures and eras in functional and decorative ways. In the Scandinavian context, they often served as multi-purpose pieces: footrests, extra seating, or even small tables. The low height of this stool, paired with its plush top, make it ideal as an ottoman or casual seating option that adds organic softness to an interior. Its modest scale allows it to be moved easily, fitting neatly into both small and open-plan spaces. This piece captures the essence of Norwegian design in its purest form: practical, beautifully made, and inherently charming. Whether used on its own or paired with a lounge chair, this stool brings a grounded, natural quality to any space. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The seat has recently been reupholstered in premium sheepskin. Each of our items can be reupholstered by our in house atelier in a fabric of your choice. Please reach out for more information.
