Stool designed by Tove and Edvard Kindt-Larsen for Thorald Madsen
Denmark, 1960s
Leather, mahogany, and brass.Here is the updated product description incorporating the materials:
Designed by Edvard Kindt-Larsen, this rare stool exemplifies a masterful union of Danish craftsmanship and modernist sophistication. Upholstered in striking red leather—a unique variation, as the majority were produced in black—it stands out as a truly exceptional piece of mid-century furniture design. The solid mahogany tripod base, accented with brass details, adds warmth and subtle elegance, harmonising beautifully with the vibrant leather seat.
Crafted from premium red leather, mahogany, and brass, this stool showcases the thoughtful use of high-quality materials. The combination of these elements highlights the durability and timeless beauty inherent in Danish design from the mid-20th century.
This piece was made in Denmark during the mid-century period, reflecting the visionary partnership of Tove and Edvard Kindt-Larsen. The couple, both trained architects and former students of the legendary Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, brought their shared passion for materiality and functional simplicity to each of their creations. Their work reflects Klint’s influence, prioritising clean lines, exceptional craftsmanship, and an appreciation for the natural qualities of materials.
The stool's minimalist form is elevated by the rarity of its red leather and the luxurious accents of mahogany and brass. It is an ideal statement piece for collectors or enthusiasts of Danish modernist design, offering a perfect balance of tradition and contemporary appeal.
