Artek - Stool 60 birch

STOOL 60 BIRCH.

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.

Alvar Aalto's stackable stool from 1933 is one of his most simple and affordable designs.
Stool 60 was originally designed for the Viipuri Library in Finland, and was presented at Fortnum & Mason in London shortly after.

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.
The stool is also made in a four-legged version.

The stool 60 from Artek is a three-legged stool and is available with a seat in the colors orange, green, yellow, turquoise, black or white, all with clear lacquered birch legs. There are also versions in completely clear birch, black or white, or with a seat of black linoleum or white laminate and clear lacquered legs.

*Dimensions: The Stool 60 has a height of 44 centimeters and a diameter of 38 centimeters.
*Note: Stool is shipped unassembled in a Carry Away package.
