Poul Henningsen designed two radically different stools which are today made by PH Furniture: the PH Snake Stool and the PH Stool. Both are beautiful pieces of art that stand alone as a functional sculpture. On the one hand, the PH Snake Stool is a playful design icon on permanent display in the Design Museum Denmark. On the other hand, the elegant PH Stool perfectly matches the PH Dressing Table and provides the ultimate in comfortable seating.
The PH Snake Stool is a piece of art and can be used as stand-alone piece of furniture in a variety of contexts, including the workplace, lobby, bedroom, kitchen and entry hall.
In 1932, Poul Henningsen presented eight tubular steel furniture designs at the Danish Fair for Industrial Design and Products. Bold, elegant and radically modern, the pieces stood apart from the wood furniture that defined the time. Although they drew attention in the Danish press, the collection never entered serial production. The market was not yet ready for such avant-garde designs, and the technology of the 1930s could not fully realize their complexity. Their curved forms and innovative construction were simply too advanced for the period. Only today has it become possible to reproduce them with the precision they require. After years of research, development and the search for the right craftsmanship, the collection has finally been brought to life. Each piece is produced in full respect of PH’s original vision and proportions. The result is a collection that still feels strikingly contemporary almost a century later. Functional yet sculptural, these works stand as timeless design pieces made for daily use and lasting value.
