Ole Wanscher
OW2000 EGYPTIAN FOLDING STOOL
The OW2000 Egyptian Folding Stool by Ole Wanscher exemplifies his creative vision and masterful
touch. The folding stool is crafted from quality, natural materials that express his passion for exploration
and original thought. Designed in 1957, the influence of his travel outside of Denmark is clear to see in
this intriguing design. While in Egypt, Wanscher became fascinated with old seats of power, leading to
the design of the elegant, lightweight Egyptian Folding Stool with Temple of Thebes furniture in mind.
The design of the stool nods gracefully to his source of inspiration yet is distinctly modern in its expression
and construction. The seat, crafted from saddle leather, easily collapses into the chair when folded.
RF1903F SIDEWAYS FOOTSTOOL
The RF1903F Sideways Footstool is characterised by its soft shape and fine details that make
reference to the Sideways Sofa; for example, the solid wooden frame and the distinctive legs highlight
the elegance of the wooden features in the same way as the sofa. The footstool was developed in
close cooperation between Rikke Frost and the skilled craftsmen at Carl Hansen & Søn, and the seat
upholstery, in particular, posed a challenge. The textile is cut from a single piece of material and has to
be stretched over the foam so that the fabric’s weave remains straight without wrinkling - a task which
only the most experienced upholsterers can master.
