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.

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.
