Artec 90th Anniversary Stool 60th Anniversary

In 2023, Artek's "Stool 60" will celebrate its 90th anniversary. The three-legged Stool 60, which can be said to be the prototype of the most universal furniture, was designed by Alvar Aalto in 1933. Based on the innovative idea of ​​realizing the ideals pursued by pioneers of modernism using birch wood unique to Finland, it has continued to be produced almost unchanged in both material and shape to this day. The design is not limited to a specific use or environment, and it blends naturally into private homes and public spaces, and its unique structure and durability allow it to be used for a long time. Its simplicity and sincerity are proof that it is a genuine design with timeless beauty.

The Stool 60 Contrasti is a 90th anniversary model that focuses on the unique structure and technology. The Stool 60 Contrasti emphasizes the innovative technique of the "L-Leg" by applying lines made of dark birch plywood that has been heat-treated at high temperatures. In addition, the seat, which is made by combining the off-cuts of the legs from the manufacturing process, also highlights its efficient manufacturing method with lines made of dark plywood.
