Stool 60

Description

Stool 60 is a versatile furniture piece that serves as a seat, table, storage unit, or display surface. Its legs attach directly to the round seat, eliminating complex connections.

The stool's geometry allows for stacking, creating a sculptural effect. Produced in 42 steps at the A-Factory in Turku, Finland, Stool 60 and its four-legged variant, Stool E60, have sold millions of units, making them iconic in design history.

Designer

Alvar Aalto, 1933

Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto was a Finnish architect and designer. His work includes architecture, furniture, textiles and glassware, as well as sculptures and paintings. He never regarded himself as an artist, seeing painting and sculpture as "branches of the tree whose trunk is architecture."
