Artek Alvar Aalto Stool E60

Alvar Aalto

The E60 stool by Artek is a timeless classic that can be easily integrated into any interior as a stool or side table.

The four-legged E60 stool was designed by Aalvar Aalto and, like its three-legged counterpart (Stool 60), is an icon of furniture design. Aalto`s stackable stools were first introduced in 1933 and were revolutionary because they were not made of traditional steel, but of bent, solid birch veneer, a style still produced by Artek today.

The familiar L-shape, found in almost every Alvar Aalto object, can also be seen here. Back then, the bending process used was impressive: as today, a straight piece of solid birch wood is sawn along the grain to form a fan. Small pieces of plywood were then glued together to allow the bending by heating the wood, which makes the wood stable after the process.

The timeless E60 stool by Artek is made of birch wood in various finishes.
