Max Bill

Ulm Stool

Good design is as little design as possible.

The "Ulm stool" is one of Max Bill's best-known pieces and an exemplary icon of the sleek minimalist style of 20th century mid-century modern Swiss design. Three planks of untreated natural spruce wood and a lateral wooden bar: the furniture icon is complete. The Ulm stool is simple, sleek and minimalistic.


The Ulm Stool is one of the most acclaimed works of the Swiss architect, artist and form designer Max Bill in product design.
