Swedish designer Fredrik Paulsen created the 001 Low Stool for Vaarnii as a study in essential, everyday design. Known for his bold, unpretentious approach and preference for accessible materials, Paulsen applies his signature "refined brutality" to this compact piece. Generously proportioned yet light on its feet, the wooden stool balances durability and comfort with an honesty of purpose. Vaarnii, founded in Finland, creates pine furniture shaped by local craftsmanship and advanced manufacturing. The brand embraces the wood's raw beauty - knots, wild grain, and a rich tone that deepens over time. Made in Finland.
