Created by the ‘grande dame’ of Danish design, Nanna Ditzel, in 1962 and reintroduced by Fredericia to celebrate her enduring legacy, the Trisse Stool embodies her playful refusal to let furniture be defined by a single purpose. Conceived as an object to be discovered rather than prescribed, its sculptural silhouette brings a sense of curiosity and character that feels as relevant today as ever.
Crafted in Denmark at Fredericia’s joinery using FSC®-certified oak wood, this larger, taller edition of the stool offers even greater versatility. Available in soaped, oiled or smoked finishes, its balanced proportions and softened form feel at home beside a sofa, bed, or reading chair. Designed to move effortlessly with you, the ND105 Trisse Stool invites personal interpretation while bringing warmth, craftsmanship, and timeless Scandinavian charm to your space.
With her postmodernist attitude and rebellion against tradition, it is easy to understand how Nanna Ditzel (1923-2005) became a leading figure in the renewal of Danish design in the 1990's, well after her 70th birthday.
Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, Nanna Ditzel originally trained as a cabinet maker before studying at the School of Arts and Crafts and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. Inspired by the challenges of new materials and techniques, Nanna was a pioneer in the fields of fiberglass, wickerwork and foam rubber, and in various disciplines such as cabinet making, jewellery, tableware, and textiles. Nanna Ditzel designed the world’s most renowned furniture textile "Hallingdal" for Kvadrat.
Nanna often began with a subjective starting point, which was contrary to specific problems to be solved. She had the incredible gift of transforming her artistic dreams into very functional and purposeful designs.
