Stool 60 Karelian Birch | Special Edition
Stool 60 Karelian Birch | Special Edition by Alvar Aalto for Artek.
Limited edition of 20.
In collaboration with Artek, twentytwentyone presents a special edition of the iconic Stool 60, reimagined with a distinctive Karelian birch seat.
This second exclusive edition features a beautifully veneered top crafted from Karelian “Curly” birch, with both the top and legs finished in a rich honey stain. Limited to just 20 pieces, only 15 are available through twentytwentyone in London, with the remaining 5 exclusively at Markanto in Cologne. First introduced in 1933, the Stool 60 is a celebrated example of Alvar Aalto's revolutionary design philosophy and his innovative bent plywood leg construction, which is regarded as one of the masterpieces of 20th-century design.
Alvar Aalto, alongside his wife Aino, were pioneers in human-centric architecture and organic modernism, drawing inspiration from nature's forms and materials. Further influenced by the German Bauhaus movement, their designs pushed the boundaries of plywood craft, with their experimentation beginning in 1927. Together, they created an enduring legacy of furniture, lighting, and accessories, many of which are now held in prestigious museum collections worldwide.
Artek itself marks a milestone in 2025, celebrating 90 years of design excellence.
