This stool is derived from a Series 7 Chair designed by Arne Jacobsen, manufactured by Fritz Hansen which was broken at its waist. Despite the alternating fiber and wood ply, glued together with complex technology, the chair is known for cracking in the place where the back transitions to the seat. We cut off the back and finessed the seat to follow similar curves of the original. The original chair tips slightly backward so that when sitting, you slide and easily rest on the springy ergonomic chair back. We flipped the seat 180 degrees so that the stool tips you slightly forward, offering a sturdy upright posture. And we replaced the shiny toxic lacquer with ultra matte lime-based milk paint.
