ABOUT PRODUCTID 25115
The Salve stool, designed by Ehlen Johansson for Ikea in 2002, exemplifies early 21st-century Scandinavian minimalism rooted in Swedish functionalist traditions. The seat is crafted from a single, smoothly bent plywood sheet, with exposed layered edges that emphasize the artisanal quality of the piece. The warm, light natural veneer with its matte finish gives the stool a calm, unified tone, while the solid wood legs in a matching shade provide structural balance. Two cool, silver-toned metal crossbars add reinforcement and introduce a subtle industrial accent. The rectilinear silhouette with gently rounded edges and visible construction details, such as neatly inset screws, highlight the precision of the joinery. The stool remains in very good condition with minor signs of use, such as small marks or scuffs on the legs; the piece is authentic and complete, with all original elements intact.Salve speaks in the voice of its era, where simplicity and everyday usability became guiding principles. The piece seems to tell a story of intentional design—articulated through ergonomic form, material efficiency, and the quiet honesty of construction. The softly folded plywood evokes Scandinavian values of gentle transitions between function and beauty, while the cool metal accents suggest the optimism of a new century, when design aimed to be both accessible and distinctive. Subtle traces of use only reinforce the object's lived-in rhythm, without diminishing its original clarity.The Salve stool can be combined with light wood and white walls in a kitchen or studio setting, accentuating minimalist or Japandi-inspired interiors. It works well at a kitchen island
