Item description

Pair of stools designed by American designer Paul Frankl in the 1960s for the Johnson Furniture Company. The pair of stools is made with an elegant and durable cork seat, while its frame is made of wood. Its line is very essential and clean. The pair is ideal to complement seating on the sides of sofas or as low tables for the living area. Paul Frakl: As both a furniture designer and author, Paul T. Frankl (1886-1958) had a strong influence in shaping the unique identity of American modernist design in the early 20th century. Frankl won a wide group of admirers, ranging from Frank Lloyd Wright to a host of Hollywood stars, and a key note of Frankl's talent was the degree to which he absorbed aesthetic cues from his surroundings. As he wrote in his 1928 book New Dimensions: The Decorative Arts of Today in Words and Pictures: 'The art of today must be created today. It must express the life that surrounds us. It must reflect the main features and signs of our complex civilisation.
