About the Item
A rare 1960s Stool from the 8500 Series, designed by Finnish interior architect Voitto Haapalainen for Asko. The design pairs a polished metal frame with a woven seat made from padded black leather straps, creating a graphic grid pattern that brings both structure and softness to the piece. The square silhouette and clean lines reflect Haapalainen’s modernist approach, while the woven leather adds depth and a quietly luxurious character.
Produced during a period when Asko was expanding its modern furniture range, this model demonstrates the company’s interest in industrial materials and new fabrication methods. Haapalainen’s work often bridged interior architecture and furniture design, focusing on functional forms with refined detailing — qualities clearly present in this stool’s precise construction and balanced proportions.
Compact and versatile, the stool works well as an accent seat, a hallway piece, or a companion to a lounge chair. Its light visual footprint and durable materials make it a timeless addition to a modern or Nordic-influenced interior.
