Skonvirke Stool
Martin Nyrop Denmark, 1905

Description:

A small stool in pine designed by architect Martin Nyrop and made by cabinetmaker Rudolph Rasmussen during the early 20th century.

This stool, until recently, was part of the interior of the Copenhagen Town Hall. A building designed by architect Martin Nyrop in the Danish Art Nouveau style ("Skønvirke"), also referred to as the National Romantic style.

The architectural style of Nyrop's Town Hall is distilled even in the smallest pieces from this prestigious project. This petite stool, ideal for occasional seating, showcases the same attention woodcraft that is seen even in the largest pieces of joinery made for the project.

The stool is in good vintage condition would pair well with this desk also from the Copenhagen Town Hall.
