Stools

This pair of stools, produced in Sweden during the 1970s, embodies the principles of Scandinavian modern design with a strong emphasis on craftsmanship, functionality, and natural materials. Each stool features a circular seat composed of three interlocking wooden segments, creating a dynamic geometric composition. The seat rests on three slightly tapered, splayed legs, providing both stability and visual balance. The construction highlights traditional woodworking techniques, with visible joinery and a natural wood finish that enhances the organic grain patterns.

Scandinavian modern design, which gained prominence in the mid-20th century, is characterized by its focus on simplicity, high-quality materials, and an appreciation for natural forms. This design philosophy is evident in these stools, which prioritize both aesthetic appeal and everyday usability. The solid wood construction reflects the Scandinavian tradition of working with natural materials to create durable and timeless furniture.

Both stools remain in good vintage condition, with visible signs of age and patina that add to their authenticity. The dimensions of each stool are 34 cm in diameter (13.4 inches) and 34 cm in height (13.4 inches), making them versatile pieces that can function as seating or side tables. Their sculptural yet practical design aligns with the core values of mid-century Scandinavian furniture, offering a blend of artistry and functionality.
