HAIRPIN LEG GUIDE

Some furniture designs stand the test of time, blending simplicity with strength in a way that feels as fresh today as it did decades ago. One such enduring innovation is the steel hairpin leg—a sleek, minimalist support structure that has become a hallmark of mid-century modern design.

First introduced by Austrian-American designer Henry P. Glass in 1941, hairpin legs remain a popular choice for furniture makers and interior designers alike.

Here at William & Irene, we proudly incorporate hairpin legs made in the UK by The Hairpin Leg Co. into our footstools, ensuring a combination of classic design and expert craftsmanship.

These come with non-slip rubber feet to ensure protection against floor scratches and provide enhanced grip on highly polished surfaces.
