First envisioned in 1945, the Artek 153A is a masterpiece of modernism. Lightweight and highly versatile, the 153A belongs to one of the most iconic families in all of design, with Aalto’s trademark L-shaped legs underpinning a perfectly worked birch upper, with the legs mounted to the base without any complicated fittings.
The finished object is one that cuts a cool, minimalist silhouette and makes for an object that will be at home in all manner of environments.

As one of the great architects and furniture designers of the 20th century, Finnish designer Alvar Aalto breathed life and warmth into modernism, placing emphasis on "organic" geometry; supple, natural materials; and a respect for human feeling.
Alvar Aalto's collection of mid-century furniture and lighting is produced exclusively by Scandinavian brand Artek including the iconic Artek 60 Stool.
