Deceivingly comfortable and brimming with originality, the Fritz Hansen Utzon Stool by Jorn Utzon deserves its accredited name as it demonstrates why its signature shape and form could only be achieved by a designer and architect of such a degree.
Perfect as a design piece to present and show off, or as an occasional stool for guests, the Utzon Stool is crafted in solid beech wood with a delicate white-pigmented oil treatment, rendering a smooth and inviting finish that exudes quality. Finalised with the seat’s instantly recognisable bulb-like components that are then fixed with untreated brass details, offering a distinct air of sophistication to the piece.
Danish architect Jorn Utzon was born in 1918 into an artistic family, a line which continues through his children today.
Utzon has a unique, truly global style. He looks for inspiration in local building traditions or nature, from around the world. From that point onwards, he impresses his stamp of originality on all of his projects. This applies whether it is a building in an Arab desert, a group of houses in a Danish field, or his best know landmark, an opera house on a windswept promontory in Australia.
