Pine stool. Gilbert Marklund (1926–1981) was a Swedish architect and furniture designer. He became known in the 1960s and 1970s for his brutalist designs for the manufacturer Furusnickarn AB. His distinctive chairs and stools are made of solid pine wood and combine rustic heaviness with minimalist, geometric shapes. Today, they are sought-after classics of Scandinavian mid-century design.
