Ulm Stool Drawer Ulm stool with drawer
This is the Ulm Stool with a drawer, designed by Max Bill. In 1953, the Ulm School of Design, founded in Ulm, West Germany, was an innovative educational institution that inherited the philosophy of the Bauhaus. Max Bill, its first rector, designed this multi-purpose stool in 1954 for his students. The "Ulm Stool" was born from the aggregation of various functions in its design, such as a stool for work tables, lectures, and cafe terraces, a side table, a portable item, and even a tray for books. At the Ulm School of Design at the time, it was used in a wide range of situations, including as a chair, side desk, and step stool, as well as a rack when turned on its side, and even inverted for carrying textbooks, fulfilling all its intended functions. This "Ulm Stool," which combines durability and comfort, is made with a joinery construction that uses no nails whatsoever. Various techniques such as "dovetail joints," "interlocking joints," and "wedge joints" are used, and hard wood (beech wood) is used in areas requiring strength, demonstrating attention to detail. Additionally, since it is finished without paint, you can enjoy the aged look as the color changes over time. In 1962, Max Bill designed the "Schubladenhocker (drawer stool)" as an evolved model of the Ulm Stool. At the time, the drawer was supported by a single crossbar, but in the current model, the crossbar has been improved to two, and wooden dowels have been added to prevent it from falling out. It is a stool with a simple form and material, and a nail-free construction, while boasting high practicality that allows it to be used flexibly in everyday life. Its minimalist design, stripped down to the bare essentials, is said to be an iconic stool that directly inherited the Bauhaus concept.Source: https://metrocs.jp/
