Design Jens H. Quistgaard, 1986
Solid oak or teak
Skagerak by Fritz Hansen
Fionia stool is a Modern, Nordic interpretation of the ancient X-chair. The lightweight and folding stool has a simple, triangular construction with a stable surface often used as a bedside table or elegant stand for books, pots, and flowers as well. As Skagerak's first stool ever and designed back in 1986, Fionia stool has become an iconic item serving multiple purposes in all rooms of the house.
Throughout Jens Quistgaard's career he created designs that during the 1950s and 1960s became synonymous with Scandinavian Modern, and found their way to trade fairs, exhibitions and homes around the world. He was born into an artistic home in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1919. As a boy, he was deeply interested in drawing and ceramics, and as a youth he became an apprentice in his father's sculptor's studio. Later, he became an apprentice under Georg Jensen and developed from being a draughtsman and relief-maker to being a sculptural designer. He is best known for his work for Danish brand Dansk with many of his designs finding their home in MoMA, The Louvre, and other museums the world over.
Available in either solid oak or teak, both are 100% FSC™-certified through their sustainably sourced regions.
