Avavick stool

A petit stool or a temporary small table where many in a row become like a sculptural object in the room. Avavick is designed by Katja Pettersson, with inspiration from Norrland's snowy landscape, sweeping crafts and dialects from the north, and gets its name from Skellefteå dialect, which means top heavy. The stool is part of the "A new collection", which was specially designed for Stockholm Nationalmuseum's restaurant, which was newly opened in October 2018. The aim was to give the stool an expression with a high seat and neat legs, an attempt to combine design with craftsmanship and a dialect that is falling into oblivion. Avavick is made entirely of birch and has a sound-absorbing textile panel under the seat.
