001 stool, black
Description
Vaarnii's 001 stool combines familiar geometric shapes in a pleasantly surprising way: the legs are made of rectangular pieces of pinewood and the seat is shaped like a circle. Designed by Fredrik Paulsen, the stool may look stiff and angular, but, believe it or not, it is surprisingly comfortable to sit on! The elegant stool serves perfectly not only as a seat but also as a side table in the bedroom or hallway.
In addition to the brutal design language typical of Paulsen's design, another of his signature elements stands out in the stool: pine wood, this time stained black. The dark finish highlights the unique character of pine, allowing its lively – at times almost psychedelic – knots and grain patterns to remain beautifully visible, making each chair truly one of a kind. The stool is crafted in Finland from domestic pine wood.

Fredrik Paulsen is a Swedish designer whose multidisciplinary work often features themes such as anti-consumption, escapism and psychedelia, as well as countercultures. With his designs, he wants to challenge the preciousness and sophistication traditionally associated with the field – instead, he aims at designs that are carefree, playful and that create a sense of community. Paulsen, who studied at the Beckmans School of Design and the Royal College of Art in London, lives and works in Stockholm. In 2024, Paulsen was awarded the Bruno Mathsson Prize, the largest design award in the Nordic countries.
