Mid-Century Pinewood Sauna Stool by Bertel Gardberg for Artek, 1950s

About the Item

A design classic from the finnish manufacturer artek based on a design by the silversmith and designer bertel gardberg from the 1950s. The stool was designed for villa jouhki. A rare collector's item. This icon of scandinavian design is hard to beat in terms of its simplicity and functionality. A rustic design of high materiality and craftsmanship. The design shows a classic stool shape with three legs. The legs are flared. They penetrate the seat and are intricately wedged in the traditional way from above. The seat made of solid wood elements is strongly contoured. The distinctive hole in the middle of the seat forms a functional handle and, in classic use, allows moisture to drain away. This piece has an attribution mark.

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.
