made from high-density plastic, the piece is characterized by a rigorous geometric construction composed of four substantial rectangular legs and a compact hinged seat. Its glossy off-white finish emphasizes the clean, architectural quality of the design.

the apparent simplicity conceals an ingenious functional feature: the seat opens to reveal an integrated storage compartment. This combination of seating and storage reflects the experimentation with new materials and multifunctional domestic objects that characterized progressive italian design during the 1960s.

plastic offered designers new freedom from traditional furniture construction, allowing familiar objects to be reconsidered as continuous geometric forms. Here, olaf von bohr combines this material experimentation with an exceptionally compact and practical design.

original markings identifying both olaf von bohr and gedy remain beneath the seat.

the stool is preserved in excellent vintage condition. The glossy off-white surface shows no significant yellowing. There is a small lack to the inner corner of one foot and minor wear to the base of another; these imperfections are not visible during normal use.
