Artek Stool 60 Kontrasti Anniversary Edition By Alvar Aalto

Artek’s Stool 60 celebrates its 90th anniversary in 2023—an extraordinary milestone for a humble wooden stool.
Special editions of the stool have been developed to commemorate Stool 60’s unique construction and responsible production values, the beauty and variety to be found in Finnish wood, as well as its low ecological impact.

The first anniversary edition to launch is Stool 60 Kontrasti which celebrates the ingenious construction processes Alvar Aalto first realised in 1933: birch veneer in a contrasting tone is used for the wood bending process to highlight the beauty of this great innovation. The same darker veneer strips reappear in the seat top, emphasising the economic use of wood offcuts from the legs in the construction of the seat.

We include a set of 4 felt glides for your Stool 60 with purchase.
