Anker says about SNILD
“On this design, I worked with Vibeke and Karen, two women diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. They both needed
a daily helper that would quickly allow them to sit down when their legs became tired and they started losing balance, as people with MS are prone to.

Carrying a stool around is not very convenient, so I wanted to give them a two-in-one product they could also use when walking.

I was drawn to The Danish designer Kaare Klint and his iconic Propeller Stool with an ingenious construction.
I coupled this inspiration with my vision of an organically shaped cane that is simultaneously a solid stool.

It’s named SNILD, Danish for handy or dextrous, and is a simple prototype that I hope can help solve a big problem for many people.”

Product information
SNILD is made from a single piece of solid ash wood split down the middle and assembled by six brass bolts, making it easy to unfold from cane to stool.

The rounded handle shape gives SNILD both a tactile form and feel, while the two legs are secured by natural rubber feet. The stool seat is made of genuine leather, making the seat cane durable and comfortable.

SNILD is inspired by Kaare Klint’s vision of the ideal fold, seen in the way the two intersecting, propeller-shaped legs and handles form a perfectly round rod when used as a cane.

SNILD is a handy and elegant piece of Everyday Assistive Furniture (EAF) you can bring and use wherever and whenever.
