A pair of mid century finnish free form stools/ sidetable in birch. Finland 1960

About the Item

This unique pair of midcentury Finnish stools or side tables represents a harmonious blend of nature-inspired design and meticulous craftsmanship. Crafted by a skilled Finnish cabinet maker, these stools embody the principles of midcentury design while showcasing a distinctive artistic vision. The seats are crafted from half a birch log, retaining the natural contours and organic beauty of the wood. The decision to use birch not only aligns with Finnish design traditions but also symbolizes a deep connection to the country's rich natural landscape. The seats are finished with a layer of lacquer, adding a touch of elegance to the rawness of the birch log. The lacquered finish not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also provides protection, ensuring the longevity of the stools. While these pieces serve as stools, their design allows them to function equally well as side tables. This versatility makes them adaptable to various interior settings, contributing to the practicality of midcentury design. These stools are uniquely reflecting the beauty of Finnish artistry and woodworking traditions. (Legs are screwed on enable swift shipping at reduced size)

  • Danish Late 19th century Stool with carved painted legs and embroidered seat.
    By Thorvald Bindesbøll, Johan Rohde
    Located in København K, 84
    A Tapestry of Danish Artistry: Late 19th Century Stool with Ornately Carved, Painted Legs, and Embroidered Seat. Nestled within the annals of Danish craftsmanship, this late 19th-century stool emerges as a testament to the intersection of functional design and artistic expression. Crafted during a period characterized by a renewed appreciation for traditional craftsmanship, this stool stands as a tangible embodiment of the artistic spirit that defined late 19th-century Danish furniture. The most striking feature of this stool lies in its intricately carved legs, a showcase of the artisan's meticulous skill and dedication to the craft. Each leg, adorned with ornate patterns, is a canvas where the artist's imagination meets the timeless elegance of Danish design. The intricate carvings, expertly executed, elevate the stool from mere functional furniture to a piece of sculptural art. The color palette chosen for the legs reflects the prevailing aesthetic preferences of the time. Rich yet understated tones of green, red, and gold intertwine harmoniously, creating a visual symphony that captures the essence of late 19th-century Danish decorative arts.

Adding an extra layer of refinement is the embroidered seat, a delicate touch that complements the sturdy and artistic foundation of the stool. The embroidery, meticulously crafted with precision, showcases a fusion of floral and geometric patterns, contributing to the overall aesthetic coherence of the piece. The choice of colors in the embroidery mirrors...
