It features broad side supports and a distinctive concave, contoured seat, giving it its distinctive sculptural character.

Designed in 1969 by Gilbert Marklund and produced by Furusnickarn AB, the "Jonte" stool is one of the Swedish designer's most recognizable pieces. The pine frame is defined by two broad side supports that extend beyond the height of the seat and a deeply contoured central element, with a concave profile that introduces an organic component to the geometric construction. The piece reflects a moment in Swedish design when the tradition of woodworking was reinterpreted through more essential forms and a particularly pronounced material presence. In the "Jonte," Marklund reduced the structure to a few thick elements, allowing the grain of the pine and the sculptural workmanship of the seat to play a central role in the design. This combination of sturdy construction, formal simplicity, and organic wood modeling has become one of the model's distinctive features.
