The Strict Small Stool is a low geometric stool by Louise Liljencrantz, from the Veermakers Collection.
The stool's form is compact and direct: thick square-profile legs in dark walnut support a seat and short backrest, both in solid matte black material. The contrast between the warm brown wood frame and the flat black seat is the piece's primary visual statement — no cushion, no upholstery, just two materials meeting at precise angles. The backrest is short, functioning more as a structural termination than as support.
The walnut frame is handcrafted in Stockholm, its square-section legs reflecting Veermakers' recurring practice of using clean geometric profiles in solid wood. The matte black seat panel is fixed without visible hardware, maintaining the austerity of the form. The proportions of the stool are compact and grounded — its low seat height positions it as much an accent object as a functional seat.
The name "Strict" reflects its formal position in the collection: a stool with no decorative gesture, its character coming entirely from proportion, material honesty, and the clarity of its structural logic.

About
Veermakers
Louise Liljencrantz and KFK Cabinet Makers, a Stockholm-based joinery firm, launched Veermakers in 2021, building on years of collaboration that had already produced LKFK Edition in 2017.
The studio works from a premise it calls slow design: each piece is made to last rather than to trend. Solid walnut, oak, Italian travertine, and steel burned in linseed oil are the materials of choice. Lighting pieces carry handwoven silk shades made in the Stockholm atelier. Most production happens in-house; specialist manufacturers handle select materials, as with the Italian travertine used in the Frank and Arrow Lamps.
Liljencrantz draws on the Swedish design tradition, with references to figures such as Gunnar Asplund and Jonas Bohlin, but the results are distinct: furniture that is spare without being cold, material-forward without being decorative. The studio has been covered by Wallpaper, Design Milk, and Interior Design magazine since its debut at Stockholm Design Week in 2021.
Signature works on Monde Singulier include the Pear collection, a limited edition table in solid walnut designed exclusively for the Paris showroom, and the studio's broader furniture and lighting range in solid wood, travertine, and hand-burnished steel.
