In 1942 Mogens Lassen designed the Stool ML42 as a piece for a furniture exhibition held at the Danish Museum of Decorative Art. He took inspiration from the stools used by the shoemakers of the past, and transferred the light, elegant look to the creation of this sculptural three-legged stool. The Stool ML42 is still manufactured in Denmark to this day with a focus on quality and Danish craftsmanship, and is considered a collector’s item by international design connoisseurs. “ML42 is one of the most seminal examples of how it is possible to combine aesthetics with good workmanship. Mogens Lassen knew that aesthetics could not stand alone. The craftsmanship was of equal importance, which is why the ML42 is still being made in the original way. We simply must ensure that the craftsmanship is commensurate with Mogens Lassen’s original stools,” explains Peter Østerberg, director at by Lassen. The ML42 is already considered by many to be a design icon, and has garnered widespread acclaim. With its organic rounded shapes and harmonious look, the stool appears just as modern as when it was designed 76 years ago. The ML42 is a unique example of modern Danish design, and its architect, Mogens Lassen, was well aware of it. Class and timeless design always speak for themselves.Product: ML42 Design: Mogens Lassen 1942 Height: 52 cm Seat height: 48 cm Seat width: 46,5 cm Leg width: 55,5 cm Colour: Oak Material: Oak
