About the Item
A beautiful Finnish hand carved folk stool from the late 1800s. The stool retains the original blue colour commonly used in furniture back in the period. The stool seems to have had a mustard color paint on the seat part and still retains small parts of the original paint there.
The design has three carved slots to the back used to easily cary the stool and move around.
According to the person we acquired the stool from, she said it was used in the legendary Lapua ammunition factory in Finland that burnt down in the 1970s and this was saved from the premises. Although we cannot confirm the story, the stool certainly has the character and scars of love to match the story. The patina it holds is breathtaking and would add character to any interior. Although the chair has the beautiful patina and many scars the condition is good as it has not structural issues and is in original condition.

Beautiful Bertel Gardberg Pine Doughnut Sauna Stool, Normark 1950s
By Bertel Gardberg
Located in Helsinki, FI
A "Sauna" stool designed by Bertel Gardberg in Finland in the 1950s. The stool is varnished pinewood and it has 4 parts: three legs and a round hollow seat with a hole in the middle. Simple, elegant and quite minimalistic. The piece is in great condition with signs of wear and use consistent with age. The stool is very sturdy and sits firmly in place. Although this was mainly intended as a sauna stool, it can of course be used in almost any room in the household. The design, which is based on old traditional folk stools, will stand out in any interior. As is evident from the pictures and video, no need for nails or screws here.
Bertel Gardberg (1919-2007) was a well renowned Finnish designer and a silversmith. His multiple recognitions include multiple Grand prizes at the Milan Triennale's, some prestigious Finnish honorary titles and a number of other recognitions. In the 1950s Garberg acted as the head designer for the Galeries Lafayette in...
