About the Item

Industrial stool attributed to Friso Kramer for Ahrend De Cirkel, The Netherlands, circa 1950s. A refined example of Dutch post-war functionalist design, featuring a black lacquered tubular steel frame and circular wooden seat. Originally intended for industrial and institutional use, the stool demonstrates Kramer's celebrated ability to achieve maximum strength and utility with minimal material. The stool retains an exceptional original patina, with beautifully weathered paint to the seat and age-related wear throughout, reflecting decades of authentic use. These surface qualities enhance the character of the piece and underscore its industrial origins. An increasingly sought-after work by one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century Dutch design, suitable for both collectors and contemporary interiors.
