OW149F Colonial footstool, oiled oak - cognac leather Sif 95

Carl Hansen & Søn’s OW149F Colonial stool is a fine example of mid-century Scandinavian design and a perfect companion for the Colonial lounge chair, designed by the Danish designer Ole Wanscher in 1959. With its simple and timeless design, the footstool can also be used as an independent piece, for instance as an extra seat next to a sofa set. The slender, well-crafted solid wood frame and voluminous cushions create a sophisticated silhouette for the Colonial stool, which has been made by hand in Denmark.

The story of Carl Hansen & Søn dates back to 1908 when Danish cabinetmaker Carl Hansen established a small furniture workshop on the island of Funen. Since the beginning, the finest Danish craftsmanship and collaborations with skilful designers have been the company's two main principles. Carl Hansen & Søn is known especially for a long-term relationship with Hans J. Wegner, the designer of the iconic Wishbone chair, as well as collaborations with other mid-century Danish designers, such as Arne Jacobsen, Børge Mogensen, Ole Wanscher and Kaare Klint. Besides preserving Danish design classics, Carl Hansen & Søn also works with interesting contemporary designers.
