Swedish designer Fredrik Paulsen created the 001 Stool as a study in essential, everyday design. Known for his bold, unpretentious approach and his love of accessible materials, Paulsen brings the same spirit of “refined brutality” to this compact, sculptural piece. Generously proportioned yet easy to move, the stool embodies his focus on durability, comfort, and honest use. Founded by Antti Hirvonen and Miklu Silvanto, Vaarnii crafts furniture exclusively from Finnish pine – a material celebrated for its wild grain, natural knots, and rich tone that deepens over time. Made in Finland.
