Gerda Stool

Named after the inspiring and historical front runner in Danish weaving Gerda Henning, Skagerak’s new Gerda series is inspired by the iconic chequered tablecloth with references to the many magical summer nights spent outdoors around Denmark. By transmitting its form and pattern on to a metal construction with a perforated surface, the duo has found a way to reinterpret textile patterns and a Nordic campsite-atmosphere in a new and modern expression. The colours of the stool are likewise representing the melancholic, infinite depth of the Nordic sky that never darkens completely during summer.
