Alvar Aalto Artek 60 Stool – 3-legged, 1950s

The Artek 60 stool is one of the purest expressions of Finnish modern design. This 3-legged example dates from the 1950s and features early production finger joints, a detail collectors always look for. Designed by Alvar Aalto in 1933, the stool was created with functionality, stackability and simplicity in mind, yet it has become one of the most recognizable design objects of the 20th century.

The beauty of the Stool 60 lies in its proportions and construction. The bent L-legs and round seat create a form that feels effortless, almost inevitable. It works equally well as seating, a side table, bedside piece or a small display pedestal. A true everyday classic that still feels completely relevant today.
