ProfessionalProduct description
The piece of furniture shown is the "Folkestorp" stool from IKEA, which, according to the label, was designed and produced in 1999.
The stool is distinguished by its organic, single-piece bent form, strongly reminiscent of the molded plywood technique popularized in the 20th century by designers such as Alvar Aalto and Charles & Ray Eames.
The minimalist lines, rounded edges, and absence of visible joints give the piece a clean, modern look, perfectly in line with Scandinavian functionalism. The inward-curving, slightly recessed legs not only contribute to its visual lightness but also ensure good stability.
The stool is made of laminated, multi-bent plywood with a light-colored veneer – most likely birch, a wood commonly used by IKEA at that time.
The surface has a matte lacquer finish, which beautifully highlights the natural grain of the wood while also providing some protection against wear. Its lightweight construction, combined with high stability and stackability, makes the stool particularly versatile – it can be used as a side table, step stool, or seat.
The stool is in good condition for its age. The surface shows minor signs of wear in the form of small scratches and a few isolated pressure marks, primarily on the sides. Overall, however, the stool is in very good condition, structurally sound, and visually appealing.
