Alvar Aalto’s iconic 60 Stool is the most elemental of furniture pieces, equally suitable as a seat, table, storage unit, or a display surface. It is another example of Aalto's close working relationship with birch and shows his talent for creating smooth, curved wooden surfaces. The legs are mounted directly to the underside of the round seat without the need for complicated connecting elements. Thanks to its geometry, the stool can be stacked to save space in a spiralling tower sculpture.
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.
