Mid Century Style ULMER HOCKER Stool by Max Bill designed in 1954 at the HfG Ulm

About the Item

The Ulm Stool (German: Ulmer Hocker), a timeless masterpiece of Mid-Century Modern design, was created in 1954 by Max Bill, the first rector of the renowned Ulm School of Design, shortly known as HfG (German: Ulmer Hochschule für Gestaltung), in close collaboration with Hans Gugelot specifically for the students of this institution. The characteristic feature of this iconic piece of furniture is its well-thought-out construction, which entirely dispenses with the use of screws, emphasizing not only its aesthetics but also its durability and stability. The simple Ulm Stool adds a touch of elegance and class to any space. Its versatile nature allows for a wide range of applications: whether as seating, side table, shelving unit, or even as a transport container, serving tray, or tabletop, the possibilities are endless. This reissue of the classic not only preserves the originality and authenticity of the design but also offers a contemporary interpretation for modern living and working environments. With a height of 43.8 cm, a width of 39 cm, a depth of 29.25 cm, and a weight of only 2.9 kg, the Ulm Stool is extremely handy and easy to transport. Every detail of the stool, from its strict form to the careful selection of materials, speaks to the highest craftsmanship and not only highlights the natural beauty of the wood but also guarantees long life and durability. With its timeless elegance and functional versatility, the Ulm Stool is not just a piece of furniture but a design classic that enriches both the aesthetics and functionality in any environment. The stool is made of spruce wood, the surface is natural. Crossbar and base strip made of beech wood Country of origin of the wood: Switzerland
