Artek Alvar Aalto Bar Stool 64 | Height 75cm

Alvar Aalto

The Artek Bar Stool 64 was designed by designer and architect Alvar Aalto in 1935 for the Teatro Corso in Zurich. Today, this object is a classic and known worldwide for its timelessness and high recognition value.

The Barstool 64 is a taller version of the Stool 60, and both versions feature Aalto`s signature organic L-shape. The bar stool is made of bent birch wood. The bending technique used is as impressive then as it is today: a straight piece of solid birch wood is cut along the grain to form a kind of fan. Small, thinly planed wooden strips are then glued to the wood, allowing for subsequent bending and shaping using steam and heat.

The metal ring used to hold the four legs together was developed by Aino Aalto, Alvar`s wife, and has been replaced in the current version with a more fitting birchwood ring. The Bar Stool 64 has a height of 75 cm, making it ideal for the kitchen or bar counter.
