I have 3 stools that I was curious about so I did some looking around. Many people selling them claim they are Arne Jacobsen's DOT stools but that's obviously not the case. I emailed Fritz Hansen to see what they knew and got this reply.
"I can confirm that the stools on the pictures you sent are original Fritz Hansen stools. They were launched in 1953 and a taller version with 3 legs was introduced in 1965. Since they have both been in and out of the collection. Today we only produce DOT.
The stools you have are not to be compared with Arne Jacobsens DOT's. They are a Fritz Hansen design and no designer is credited for the stool"
Hope that helps anyone else who has one of these and was wondering : )
**My stools need work, former owner was a smoker and they suffered the consequences**
