Description

The OW149F Colonial Footstool has a simple and light appearance. While it perfectly complements the OW149 Colonial Chair, it is a beautiful object in and of itself with its outstanding finish and hand-woven cane seat.
Support in the seat is made of handwoven canework. Replacement cushion also available.

The Colonial Series was designed by Ole Wanscher. Born in 1903, Wanscher studied and eventually worked under Kaare Klint prior to his independent design career. Notably, Wanscher’s best known works were designed between the late 1940s and early 1960s, a few years earlier than many other renowned Scandinavian designers. Alongside his career designing furniture, Wanscher also taught at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, helping to shape the work of a later generation. Whereas some of his designs are quite reserved and arguably more traditional with references to pre-modern movements, others can be highly sculptural, delicate, and/or definitively modern.
