The Dot stool (Model 3170) is an example Danish Mid-century modern seating design. It was designed and developed by Fritz Hansen in the early 1950s and refined for production in 1954 through a collaboration with Arne Jacobsen. [1] The Dot stool design was modified (Model M3170) in the 1960s by Jacobsen and was produced in 1969. [2] [3]
The Model 3170 stools were constructed of chrome plated tubular steel, plastic, and a bent wood veneer seat. [1] The design of the stool allowed for groups to be neatly and easily stacked. [4] The stools produced from 1954 to 1970 had three legs, and after 1970, the design changed to feature 4 legs. [1] The 3170 stool is still being offered by retailer Republic of Fritz Hansen. It measures 17.3 inches high. [5]
The Model M3170 were constructed of chrome plated tubular steel, plastic, and a bent wood veneer seat. It measures 24 inches high, taller than the Model 3170, and featured a steel foot rail along the bottom legs, creating a triangular shape. [2] This model was only produced for one year in 1969. [3]
