About the Item
Set of 3 Brutalist Olavi Hänninen blond Elm Wood Bar Stools, Finland, 1960s
This rare set of three Brutalist bar stools by Finnish designer Olavi Hänninen dates to the 1960s and showcases his bold, sculptural design language. Crafted from solid elm wood, each stool features strong angular lines, expressive wood grain, and a minimal yet commanding presence characteristic of the Brutalist movement.
The stools are defined by their trapezoidal seats and splayed legs, joined with visible dowels and supported by crossbars that enhance both structure and visual weight. The craftsmanship is raw and honest, reflecting Hänninen’s commitment to material integrity and functional form.
With a seat height of 80 cm (31.5 inches), these stools are perfect for bar or counter seating. Their 50 cm x 50 cm (19.69 inches) footprint ensures stability without appearing bulky. The warm tone of the elm wood has developed an amazing patina over time, adding depth and richness to their appearance.
The set is in good vintage condition, showing minor traces of use, such as light surface marks and subtle wear, but remains structurally sound. The aged surface only enhances their character, making them an ideal choice for interiors that embrace natural texture, craftsmanship, and timeless design.
Olavi Hänninen was a prominent figure in Finnish modernism, and his Brutalist works remain highly collectible. These stools represent a compelling fusion of Nordic restraint and sculptural boldness—perfect for collectors or design-forward spaces.
