This pair of stools was designed by Sigfred Omann for Ølholm Møbelfabrik, Denmark, in the 1950s. A member of the Omann cabinetmaker family based in Ølholm, Sigfred Omann worked in the family workshop founded in 1892 by his father, Niels Omann, which he later took over. The solid oak structure, with its round, tapered legs and hand-woven cane seat, creates a light, organic and balanced silhouette, characteristic of mid-20th century Danish design. The stools are offered in excellent condition: the oak structure has been carefully cleaned while retaining its original finish, and the seats have been re-caned. Each piece is carefully cleaned and, when necessary, restored in accordance with its original design. Slight traces of use and a natural patina may remain, as an integral part of its history.
