Although initially too complex to put into production, the 1930 Propeller design quickly attracted attention and was featured as a concept in several design books. A prototype was created in 1956 for the major memorial exhibition for Kaare Klint at the Danish Museum of Art and Design, and the design went into production in 1962, eight years after Klint's death. The idea of a folding stool was certainly not new; the concept existed as early as the Bronze Age. Klint, however, refined and optimized it, adding the innovative propeller element. The stool is produced using wood with long, strong fibers that help support the slim, sophisticated construction. An optional Propeller Tray transforms the stool into a low table. The stool is crafted from solid ash and features a canvas or leather seat.

Kaare Klint

Kaare Klint (1888-1954) was an iconic furniture designer, educator and visionary who made his mark on Danish design history. He inspired the greatest Danish furniture designers and architects – including Hans J. Wegner, Mogens Koch, Arne Jacobsen and Poul Kjærholm. He is regarded as a reformer: as one of the first designers to put functionalism and the practical study of architecture and furniture design principles above style. He insisted on clear, logical design, clean lines, the best materials, and superb craftsmanship. In 1949, he became an Honorary Royal Designer for Industry in London.
