Story
Named after pine
Fyr is Danish for pine, and the name points to the material's unique character and durability. Yuchen Wu explored numerous sketches while aiming for a stool that is practical, simple and intriguing.
Sturdiness, simplicity and detail
Wu says the challenge of designing something as simple as a stool is to make it uncomplicated and practical but still interesting. She describes the result as "a well-balanced combination of sturdiness, simplicity and detail" in which the pine takes center stage.
