The Stool 60 was designed in 1933 by Finnish designer Alvar Aalto, who is considered as one of the founding fathers of modern design. The bentwood solution of the Stool 60's L shaped leg is popular among all of Aalto's pieces. Not only was Aalto concerned with formal design concerns but also in the spirit of beautiful materials and the simple forms of modernism. Aalto was a fan of artists such as Jean Arp and Brancusi. This stool is in a lovely used condition, the light gray laminate is in excellent condition, while the wood shows signs of history. Great as additional seating, or as a side table this stool can be kept in any corner ready to use. Not sure the year in which this piece was produced but it has definitely seen its years as the varnish is older. Obtained directly in Helsinki from Artek 2nd cycle in Finland. less
