OW149 Colonial Footstool, 1949

OW149 Colonial footstool by Ole Wanscher for Carl Hansen + Son.

Ole Wanscher designed the Colonial range of furniture in 1964. This refined collection clearly reflects Wanscher’s interest in eighteenth-century English furniture as well as a certain nostalgia for the Colonial aesthetic.

The Colonial range includes a two-seater sofa, armchair, footstool and coffee table.
The seating elements feature a solid wood frame with a cotton webbing base that supports loose cushions made from a downmix.

This is a well-crafted footstool with a simple and refined expression. It is very stable and has an outstanding finish.
