Rast — Danish for "a rest" — grew out of Vandre, built for a different spot in the house: the kitchen counter, where life happens. Morning coffee, a quick snack, a glass of wine and conversation during meal prep. It's a stool built for that kind of use, with a Scandinavian-inspired design that holds its own in a room.
The frame is solid ash with 1 3/8" legs, giving it a heavier, more planted stance than a typical bar stool. The front and rear stretchers carry a gentle downward curve, dropping to 24.5" at the center and rising to 25" at the seat corners. Each stretcher doubles as a footrest, and because the stool is reversible, it works facing either direction — sit on either side and your feet land in the right spot. The footrests are joined to the legs with a housed and haunched bridal joint we developed specifically for this application, built to take the weight and wear of daily use. Low side rails, joined with traditional mortise-and-tenon, tie the base together and add a second layer of visual structure beneath the seat.
The seat itself is hand-woven Danish cord, offering a supportive give that only improves with age. Each stool is built one at a time in our Pacific Northwest studio using traditional joinery and a durable, repairable finish — made to be used daily, admired up close, and passed on.
