Artek E60 stool birch Zebra upholstery

The Artek E60 stool is designed by Alvar Aalto, a diamond of Finnish furniture design. The design of the beautiful L-legged stool never gets old. The 4-legged stool can also be used as a side table next to an armchair or as a bedside table next to the bed. The stool also serves as a spare seat in case guests are surprised, and several stools stack beautifully into a 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. Long-standing traditions in furniture production were interrupted when Aalto patented the technology in 1933. Durable and solid furniture was now made from warm 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.
