The gently angled sides give what is essentially a very practical piece of furniture an unexpectedly sharp, almost Space Age profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSet on castors, the piece reflects a broader shift in 1960s design towards mobility, adaptability and less formal ways of living. It was a period in which designers and architects increasingly questioned the idea of the interior as a fixed arrangement: at one extreme Archigram proposed mobile architecture and constantly changing environments; in everyday furniture the same appetite for flexibility appeared in modular, multipurpose and easily moved pieces such as this.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upholstered seat lifts to reveal a generous storage compartment, making it useful as a footstool, occasional seat or bedroom storage piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is something particularly appealing about the combination of warm timber and white upholstery — distinctly of its period, with just a hint of the futuristic optimism of late-1960s interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented in very good original condition. The timber has been gently cleaned and conserved in our studio workshop, retaining the original finish and signs of age. The white upholstery is also original and shows some light wear consistent with its age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompact, mobile and genuinely useful, this is a particularly characterful piece of British 1960s modernism. Its castors, hidden storage and bold contrast of teak and white upholstery capture a period when domestic furniture was becoming less formal and considerably more fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e H: 43cm L: 87cm D:42cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaker: Uniflex\u003cbr\u003e Range: 29 Range, Series II\u003cbr\u003e Date: c.1960s\u003cbr\u003e Origin: Britain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompact, mobile and slightly Space Age — a small piece of furniture that says rather a lot about the changing 1960s home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scandinavian Modern","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62562818163075,"sku":null,"price":600.0,"currency_code":"BND","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0073\/4399\/6992\/files\/il_fullxfull.8489256708_g496.jpg?v=1788795119","url":"https:\/\/scandinavianmodern.store\/en-bn\/products\/uniflex-29-range-teak-storage-stool-1960s-81205","provider":"Scandinavian Modern","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
