Contemporary bar stool ML

oakbeechoak base

When Mogens Lassen wanted to create a stool that was an extension of the body, he looked to those used by shoemakers, transferring their light and elegant look to his sculptural three-legged design. Now considered a collector’s item, the ML42 was first designed in 1942. Shaped from wood to support the body, it is offered in three different heights, each featuring a moulded seat and tripod-like legs. The addition of a metal foot bar on the bar and counter versions ensures further comfort when seated for extended periods. Lightweight and easy to move around, it is offered in black-stained beech, soap treated oak and brown-oiled oak. In 1942 Mogens Lassen designed the Stool ML42 as a piece for a furniture exhibition held at the Danish Museum of Decorative Art. He took inspiration from the stools used by the shoemakers of the past, and transferred the light, elegant look to the creation of this sculptural three-legged stool. The Stool ML42 is considered a collector’s item by international design connoisseurs.
