The inspiration behind the Favn stool is rooted in Scandinavian minimalism, with simplicity and functionality in the center. The idea was to make a versatile stool that can change with the house it lives in and the people in it. 

The cushion is easily detached from the legs and with an invisible zipper the cover can be removed to be cleaned, repaired or replaced, allowing it to be adaptable and functional. 

FAVN, which is Norwegian for “embrace,” got its name as the oak curves around and embraces the cushion, but the name also symbolizes inclusion and flexibility as it embrace different lifestyles, interior and people. 

Favn is designed so that it can function as an «extra» seat if needed by the dinner table or it can be a foot stool to the favorite lounge chair.  The cushion is flat on the top and made out of firm recycled cold foam so it can also function as a little side table. 

It’s been important to us to highlight natural materials, so in the prototype we have used oak and Norwegian wool for the cushion. The contrast between the hard wood and the soft wool gives it a harmonious and balanced look and we feel like that really emphasizes the usability and timelessness of Favn.
