Artek 60 stool Loimu is a tribute to the classic stool that turns 90 years old. Launched in honor of the anniversary, the Loimu stool celebrates the diversity of Finnish birch in all its beauty. Birch sometimes has a wonderful flame-like and wavy pattern, which is why it is called warp birch. At Artek's A-factory, warp birch is only about 5% of all wood processed. The purpose of the Loimu stool for the festive year is to emphasize this pattern even more with the help of oiling.

Artek 60 stool Loimu comes with oil, which the owner of the stool can choose to use or not use. Without oiling, very little of the flame pattern is visible on the stool. By oiling the anniversary stool, this pattern comes out more clearly and thus highlights the birch in all its beauty. In addition to 100% natural wood oil, the stool package comes with detailed instructions and all the necessary tools for oiling. The Artek 60 stool Loimu, which celebrates Finnish birch, is available in a limited edition.

The Artek 60 stool is designed by Alvar Aalto, a diamond of Finnish furniture design. The design of the beautiful L-legged stool never gets old. In addition to the seat, the 3-legged stool can also be conveniently used as a side table next to a bed or an armchair, for example. When collecting several stools, you can stack them on top of each other to form a beautifully rotating tower.

At the end of the 1920s, the architect and designer Alvar Aalto started experimenting with bending wood. Together with the furniture manufacturer Otto Korhonen, Aalto developed a pioneering process, which resulted in the L-leg. The iconic leg is created by cutting slits in a piece of wood below the bending point, to which wooden slats are glued. Aalto called the L-leg your little sister of the architectural column. The long-standing traditions in furniture production were interrupted when Aalto patented the technology in 1933. After that, durable and solid furniture was made from organic wood material.

Artek - long-lived classics

Artek was founded in 1935 to sell and market furniture designed by Alvar Aalto . Artek's founders Alvar and Aino Aalto, Nils-Gustav Hahl and Maire Gullichsen published a manifesto drawn up in the spirit of functionalism, according to which Artek's purpose was "to trade in furniture and to promote modern housing culture through exhibitions and other means".

Artek's original values ​​– durability and high quality combined with a clean design language – are still at the core of the company. Artek's powerhouses Alvar and Aino Aalto created their own warm and human style for modern interior design, where nature was a major inspiration. It is the use of natural materials and the tireless search for new technical solutions that have made Artek a company whose values ​​are still relevant today.
