Tage Frid Three-Legged Stool, 1983
26.25” high x 16” wide x 12” deep
Cherry. The three-legged stool was one of Frid’s most successful and iconic designs and one he used as an example in the volume dedicated to furniture making. While sitting on a fence at a horse show, Frid was inspired to explore the minimal amount of structure needed to support a grown human. The result was a stool with a seat sixteen inches wide and six inches deep. The stool was made in three heights; this example is the middle height. A fastidious craftsman, Frid’s stool exhibits a range of construction techniques: the back and seat are sawn and shaped; the back is dovetailed to the seat; the legs and stretchers are shaved; and the legs are through-tenoned to the seat. Exhibited at: Workbench: The Gallery, "Furniture by Tage Frid," New York, September 13 - October 28, 1984 SIGNED AND DATED 1983. Purchased by the gallery manager. Danish-born craftsman Tage Frid influenced generations of American craftsmen though his woodworking courses and his three-volume Tage Frid Teaches Woodworking, which has been in continuous publication since 1979.
