Pine Sauna Stool for Finnsauna Lagerholm
About the Item
Sauna stools have been in use for centuries, predominantly in Japan and in Finland. While these pieces are mostly a utilitarian object, vintage sauna stools - like this one - from these countries are handmade, beautiful pieces.
Sauna stools are traditionally used as a perch while washing up in the bathhouse before entering the soaking tub. They also make good shower stools or bath-side tables because the pinewood can withstand the heat and humidity well. They are also bacteria and mildew resistant.
Usually sauna stools have a simple construction, however this one from Finnsauna Lagerholm has a carved top that surpasses the functional role. The top is made of four interconnecting parts in a shape that resembles a Celtic knot. These individual parts are connected by two pins, leaving the design functional as water can flow through easily.
While this stool was officially made for bathhouses, this stool clearly can be used as a common stool for underneath the dining table, in your living room, or purely for decoration purposes. It's a piece that can be applied in multiple ways.
The stool is in a good vintage condition and it has an attribution mark on the top bottom, as displayed.

- Pine Sauna Stools for Finnsauna Lagerholm, Finland 1950sLocated in Utrecht, NLSauna stools have been in use for centuries, predominantly in Japan and in Finland. While this form of furniture is mostly a utilitarian object, vintage sauna stools - like this set of four - from these countries are artisanal, beautiful pieces. From Antti Nurmesniemi’s sauna stool (which is part of the MoMA’s collection) to the Japanese Hinoki stools, these vintage wooden pieces are perhaps even more treasured today than in the 50s. Sauna stools are traditionally used as a perch while washing up in the bathhouse before entering the soaking tub. They also make good shower stools or bath-side caddies also because the woods used - pine in this case - are naturally bacteria- and mildew-resistant and withstand humidity well. Stools traditionally have a simple, functional construction, however, these Finnish stools have elaborately carved tops that move beyond the strictly functional role. The tops are composed of four interconnecting parts in a shape that resembles a Celtic knot. These individual parts are connected by two dowel pins to each other leaving the design airy and functional as water has an easy way to flow through. The legs are in a simple, slightly tapered form to support the sitter with similar dowel pins connecting them to the seats. These mid-century sauna stools were made for Finnsauna Lagerholm...Category
