One of the most influential pieces of 20th Century furniture design, Aalto’s iconic Stool 60 is the most elemental of furniture pieces, and a mainstay of homes across Scandinavia. Equally suitable as a seat, a table, storage unit, or display surface, the L-shaped legs of the 60 Stool are mounted directly to the underside of the round seat without the need for complicated connecting parts, and, thanks to its geometry, the stool can be stacked in a space-saving spiralling tower sculpture.
Manufactured in 48 production steps at the A-Factory in Turku, Finland, the Stool 60 is available in a wide variety of colours and finishes, and will be welcomed into any home as a favourite piece of design for generations. To mark the 90th anniversary of the Stool 60 Artek are now offering a lifetime guarantee on every piece sold, such is the confidence that the company has in their product.
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.
