Harry stool by Massproductions has a flowing and harmonic visual language inspired by the Japanese Torii shrine gates. The Harry stool's effortless yet impressive design comes from two bent oak sheets held together with traditional Japanese wood joinery techniques. Thanks to its minimalistic design, Harry fits smoothly into various interiors: it can be used as a seat in the kitchen, but it also finds its place as a footstool in the living room or as a side table in the hallway. Multifunctional, and suitable for many situations and spaces, this stool is built to last.

Designer
The British designer Chris Martin moved to Stockholm to do freelance work for IKEA. However, Martin wanted to change his work to a more sustainable and quality-driven direction, so that there would be fewer filters between him and the final product. He met the Swedish designer Magnus Elebäck and together they founded the furniture company Massproductions in 2009.
For Massproductions, Martin designs products in a traditional Nordic way, without forgetting to add in elements from other cultures, as well. His design work is characterised by his ability to unite functionality with an innovative, even artistic appearance. In 2020, Martin was awarded with the prestigious Bruno Mathsson Prize.
