Norwegian 1960s Stool Model 522 in Pine by Krogenaes Möbler

About the Item

This is the Norwegian solid pine stool model nr 522. It comes in a stable, three legged construction with patinated untreated surface. The stool is burn marked “Krogenæs Möbler” on the underside of the seat. Model nr 522 was manufactured in a short period, manly in the 1960s. Designed by an unknown designer as a milking stool, easy to carry out on the mountain when the free-ranging cattle are to be milked. It has a three-legged construction with a wide base and carved cupped seat. Perfect for its purpose! Cows, goats and sheep graze freely in the mountains during the bright summer months and the model is still used today. The stool has also become popular for furnishing, for example as a bedside table or as a useful furniture in sports cabins. ____________________ Krogenæs Møbler was founded by Ragnvald Krogenæs in the mountain village of Skåbu in Norway on July 3, 1964. Ragnvald Krogenæs dream was to make traditional Norwegian pine furniture for modern homes, based on old Norwegian agricultural tradition. In 1964, he was presented on Norwegian Television in a series about some of the Norwegian business worlds Askeladder (Askeladd = fictional figure in Norwegian folk tales, the hero of the stories, the youngest boy from whom no one expects anything but who nonetheless wins in the end). The furniture sold so well that for a time they were also able to manufacture in the village of Vinstra. His big dream was a reality, and he only experienced boom times until his death in 1969. During the company's heyday, the factory employed around 85 people, but in the early 1970s the company had capacity problems and had difficulty delivering products on time. In the late 1980s, the company experienced decline both in Norway and abroad. Krogenæs Møbler went bankrupt in 1992 and several times after that. In 2014, 50 years after Ragnvald Krogenæs founded the company, the saga definitely ended.
