the stol

This chair highlights craftsmanship, functionality, and simplicity through a clean, minimalist design that emphasizes the natural beauty of hardwood. Drawing inspiration from the Danish Modernism movement, particularly the work of Hans Wegner, it balances form and function to create a piece that is both visually striking and ergonomically supportive. The name Stol, meaning “chair” in Danish, reflects the project’s roots in Danish Modernist design and its timeless philosophy of elegance, practicality, and purpose.
As one of only a select few projects chosen for exhibition in the Lawrence Technological University student design show, the Stol stands as both a personal exploration of craft and a portfolio-defining piece.
