Scandinavian Tripod Stool in Pine, 1960s

About the Item

This pine tripod sauna stool is a classic example of mid-century modern Finnish design, embodying the principles of simplicity, functionality, and natural materials. Crafted from solid pine, this stool features a sturdy three-legged construction with a smooth, round seat. A distinctive circular cutout in the center serves both as a design element and a practical handle for easy transportation. Designed for use in saunas, the stool is made to withstand heat and humidity while providing a comfortable and stable seating option. Its minimalist aesthetic aligns with the Scandinavian design ethos, emphasizing clean lines and practicality. Though often attributed to renowned Finnish designer Bertel Gardberg, similar stools were widely produced during the 1950s and 1960s by various Scandinavian manufacturers. Today, vintage pine sauna stools are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of mid-century modern furniture, valued for their craftsmanship, timeless appeal, and connection to Finlands rich design heritage.
