An iconic staple of late 20th-century Scandinavian functional design, this "Poäng" lounge footstool—originally conceptualized by celebrated designer Noboru Nakamura in 1976, expertly balances ergonomic form with minimal styling.
Built with a signature layer-glued cantilever frame composed of bent birch wood veneer, the base possesses a gentle, natural flexibility that offers exceptional support. The stool features a robust, deep-tufted cushion upholstered in genuine, full-grain black leather. The underside of the frame cleanly anchors the cushion pad via horizontal wood tension supports, maintaining a pure, low-slung modernist profile. This versatile object serves brilliantly as a statement footrest, a minimalist side stool, or a sculptural accent piece within mid-century modern and contemporary spaces alike.
Condition: Great vintage condition. The bentwood frame is thoroughly stable, rigid, and completely free from split veneer or structural issues. The black leather cushion shows natural, gentle creasing across the seat surface consistent with its vintage era. The entire piece has been professionally cleaned, and the leather treated with premium deep-conditioning agents to ensure a soft feel and long-term durability.
