The KK97170 Safari Stool was designed by Kaare Klint’s son, Esben, after the death of his father. Easily assembled without tools, it is crafted to match the Safari Chair - one of the world’s first build-it-yourself furniture items. While offering a gentle place to rest one’s feet, it is also suited for a stylish life on the move.

Esben Klint was born on June 18, 1915. His mother was Le Bredsdorff and his father was the world-famous architect, Professor Kaare Klint, who is generally considered the father of modern Danish design and the man behind such iconic pieces of furniture as the Safari Chair, the Faaborg Chair and the Addition Sofa. At the time of Esben Klint’s birth, the family was living in Java, Indonesia, but a few years later they moved back to Copenhagen where Esben Klint grew up. His mother died when Esben Klint was three years old. For the rest of his childhood, he spent a lot of time with his grandparents – the Danish architect and furniture designer P.V. Jensen-Klint and his wife, Mathilde Jensen-Klint.
