Artek - Stool 60 birch, fabric Zebra.

Finnish designer Alvar Aalto's stackable stool from 1933 is one of his most simple and affordable designs. After the durability test, Aalto shouted: "We will sell thousands of these." In this regard, Aalto was wrong: more than 1.5 million have been sold since then.

Stool 60 was originally designed for the Viipuri Library in Finland, and was presented at Fortnum & Mason in London shortly after. The stackable stool 60 created in 1933 by Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) represents the quintessence of functionalist furniture design. 

The simple idea behind this now classic stool is based on three curved legs and a round seat. The secret of the success of the original Aalto stool lies in the unique bends of the legs, which eventually became the distinguishing feature of all Aalto furniture.

*Dimensions: The Stool 60 has a height of 44 centimeters and a diameter of 38 centimeters.

*Stool is shipped unassembled in a "Carry Away" package.
