solid ashwood & leather safari stool, Rud. Rasmussen

Kaare Klint (1888–1954), trained as an architect and head of the Furniture School at the Royal Danish Academy - is considered the father of modern Danish furniture design.  His "safari" series was designed in the mid 1930s initially for his own use - with the intention  to reinterpret the traditional campaign chair: a piece that was light, demountable, comfortable, and honest in construction.  This stool from that series in solid ashwood and brown leather with visible joinery and leather strapping. Produced by legendary Danish cabinetmaker Rud. Rasmussen.  Later production.
