Information

This rare stool, model 967, was designed by Josef Frank and produced by Svenskt Tenn in Sweden during the 1950s. It exemplifies Scandinavian modern craftsmanship through its elegant and balanced proportions. The frame is made from solid mahogany, featuring finely turned legs and distinctive crossbars that provide both structural stability and visual refinement.

The seat has been newly reupholstered in red-brown leather, carefully secured with brass rivets at each corner. This detail not only ensures durability but also enhances the artisanal quality of the piece. The stool remains in very good vintage condition, with minor signs of wear mainly on the wooden frame. The light patina and small marks add to its authenticity and historical character, while the fresh leather upholstery shows minimal wear.

Measuring 43 centimeters in width, 28 centimeters in depth, and 41 centimeters in height (approximately 16.9 x 11 x 16.1 inches), this stool is a fine example of Josef Frank’s timeless design and craftsmanship.
