ABOUT PRODUCTID 2849
This Danish three-legged stool, designed by Arne Hovmand-Olsen in the 1950s, exemplifies the restrained functionality and refined form characteristic of Scandinavian modernism. The construction features three subtly splayed legs crafted from solid wood, finished in a warm honey tone with a satin sheen. The seat stands out thanks to its unique decoupage of mid-century Danish newspaper clippings—visible text and colorful accents are preserved beneath a matte lacquer, allowing the paper's texture to be subtly felt. The joints between legs and seat are visibly robust and thoughtfully executed. With proportions of 47 cm in height, 39 cm in width, and 26 cm in depth, the stool offers both practical utility and a distinctive visual accent. It is in good vintage condition, displaying minor signs of use such as small scratches and scuffs on the legs. The form and materials of this piece tell a story of an era when pragmatism and the nobility of craftsmanship merged with playful artistic gestures. The honey-toned wood and organic lines evoke the calm of mid-century Scandinavia, while the newspaper-collage seat introduces a note of wit and lightness—like echoes of daily life from the 1950s, preserved just beneath the lacquered surface. The stool seems to share a quiet narrative, where every detail is meaningful and even the most utilitarian object becomes a vessel for cultural memory. It could be paired with a minimalist sofa or a period armchair, where natural wood harmonizes with neutral upholstery. The stool works well
