Ingvar Hildingsson stool
This rare stool was designed and produced by Ingvar Hildingsson in Sweden during the 1940s. It is crafted from birch, showcasing the warm, natural tone and fine grain of the wood. The stool’s design is simple yet robust, with a circular seat resting on three solid, slightly tapered legs that give it a grounded and balanced appearance. The surface displays a smooth finish, with subtle patina from age that highlights its vintage character.
The stool is in excellent vintage condition, with only small signs of usage consistent with its age. The piece has a sculptural quality due to its well-proportioned dimensions and the visual weight of the solid birch construction. The designer’s initials, I H, are carved into the underside, providing authenticity and a connection to its maker.
Ingvar Hildingsson’s work is known for its restrained Scandinavian aesthetic, emphasizing utility, craftsmanship, and natural materials. This stool embodies the principles of early modern Scandinavian design with its functional form and honest use of wood.
