The chair is hewn and hollowed out from a single solid pine trunk, a traditional craft technique rooted in Scandinavian folk culture.

This type of chair is known in Scandinavia as a kubbestol or trunk chair and was traditionally made from locally available wood. The chair serves not only as seating but also as practical storage. The trunk is hollowed out beneath the seat. The seat can be easily lifted to access the storage compartment.

Despite its robust and sculptural form, the chair is surprisingly comfortable to sit on. The organic lines and visible wood grain emphasize the handcrafted process and give each piece a unique character. The chair comes with an original leather cushion, with a beautiful patina that has developed over time.

This kubbstol is both a functional piece of furniture and a sculptural object: a powerful example of Scandinavian craftsmanship, combining simplicity, functionality, and respect for the material. A rare and authentic piece that fits effortlessly into both a modern interior and a more eclectic or wabi-sabi style. See less
