Utzon Stool by Fritz Hansen
About the design
The Utzon Stool is a captivating creative expression by acclaimed Danish architect Jørn Utzon. It was designed during the same period as the Sydney Opera House. The stool is a meticulously crafted functional sculpture. Decorative in appearance yet deceptively comfortable. Crafted with oiled solid beech wood, veneer beech wood, and adorned with beautiful brass detailing. The stool exudes an extrovert playfulness in its fascinating appearance.
