DOT , painted beech The Dot – originally known as the 3170 – is a stool designed by<br />
Arne Jacobsen and Fritz Hansen. It was �rst introduced to the<br />
market in 1953 with three legs. The little stool with the friendly<br />
appearance was revitalized in 1970 with four legs. Arne Jacobsen<br />
was so fond of the charming stool’s sculptural qualities that he<br />
chose to decorate the walls of Rødovre Town Hall, situated in a<br />
suburb of Copenhagen, with the seat from the stool. The unexpected<br />
idea with the seats on the walls of the town hall is an<br />
unusual example of the total design of Arne Jacobsen, who also<br />
was the architect behind the building. The decorated walls, which<br />
can be seen as a collection of big dots, are also the inspiration for<br />
the name of the stool. The four legged stool is available in �ve<br />
different painted beech colours. It is stackable with a chromed steel<br />
tube base.<br />
