Danish architect and designer Jørn Utzon is world-famous for his Sidney Opera House. He was also an extraordinary creator of furniture, such as this attractive stool, which reflects his taste for geometrically arranged, organic forms.
The Utzon stool is carefully crafted from oiled solid beech (seat), beech veneer (base) and beautiful brass details (connection between the two).
While it exudes a playful, extroverted quality, it is also a comfortable, utilitarian object - the embodiment of Utzon's rare talent for combining functional rigor and formal extravagance.

Creating things for people. This is the main theme of probably Denmark's most famous architect: Jørn Utzon. He graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1942, then developed his talent in studios such as Alvar Aalto's in Helsinki. This inspiration helped Jørn Utzon gradually optimize his talent for creating organic, architectural space while maintaining respect for people, nature and the environment.
Jørn Utzon has clearly drawn a parallel between music and light. Both are crucial to feeling emotions. In developing his designs for Fritz Hansen, he has ensured that light constantly lifts the atmosphere of a room, whether it's used to create a warm ambience, for a particular function or to inspire ideas. The design of his first lamp for Fritz Hansen - Lightyears is an ode to the Sydney Opera House. It is through his designs that Jørn Utzon's portrait is completed as a lamp designer and architect of the highest international stature.
