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 common feature in homes across Scandinavia. Whether used as a seat or side table, the Stool 60 will bring a real sense of design credibility to any space. Featuring a trio of L-shaped legs that are mounted directly to the underside of the round seat, the stool can be stacked in a space-saving spiralling tower sculpture.
The stool is manufactured in 48 steps at the A-Factory in Turku, Finland, and this version has been specially produced to celebrate nine decades of the S60, with veneer inserts highlighting the subtle yet highly effective method of production employed in its making. A timeless, perennial classic of the design landscape, the Stool 60 is certain to remain a popular favourite for at least another 90 years. Such is the confidence that the company has in their product, and to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Stool 60, Artek are now offering a lifetime guarantee on every piece sold.
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.
