An iconic stool with a Seireeni motif, reissued for ARTEK's 90th anniversary.

Created in 1933 by Alvar Aalto, the 60 Stool is a founding piece of modernist design. To celebrate Artek's 90th anniversary, this classic stool has been given a strong new design: Maija Isola's Seireeni, created in 1964 for Marimekko. Inspired by the ripples of water observed during a trip to Greece, this abstract design evokes the hypnotic song of Antic mermaids. Its sinuous elegance introduces a poetic, organic dimension to this icon of Scandinavian furniture.

A limited-edition reinterpretation of a modernist design icon

Designed in 1933 by Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto (1898 - 1976), the Stool 60 is one of the most copied design classics. Present in the collections of the most prestigious museums and sold in millions, it is surely the world's most famous Stool. Since 1933, it has been handcrafted in Finland by ARTEK, who offer a lifetime warranty on every Stool 60. This Stool was also the very first to incorporate the L-shaped base invented by Aalto - a revolution in furniture history. Thanks to an ingenious solid wood bending process developed with cabinetmaker Otto Korhonen, the legs are fixed directly under the seat, without the need for a frame. This system confers stability, lightness and a unique structural elegance. Each piece is made in Turku, from local FSC-certified wood, according to ARTEK's historic artisanal methods.

Versatile, durable, stackable design

Lightweight, compact and stackable up to 10-high, Stool 60 can be used as an occasional chair, bedside table, sculptural pedestal or sofa end. Its size (Ø 38 x H 44 cm) is ideal for contemporary spaces. Its durability is guaranteed for life by ARTEK - a rare guarantee of quality in the world of furniture.

A bold interpretation of a design classic

The Seireeni pattern introduces a fluid visual vibration into the natural softness of Birch wood. Inspired by the movement of water, it evokes an organic and sensitive aesthetic. This Stool combines effortlessly with raw or soft textures: washed linen, ceramics, felt or velvet. Ideal in a minimalist bedroom, a wabi-sabi-inspired living room or a contemporary entryway, this limited-edition Stool draws the eye without ever imposing.

This Stool 60 - ARTEK + Marimekko embodies the meeting of two major figures in Finnish design. It's a work of use with a high heritage value, designed to last, cross generations and interact with today's and tomorrow's interiors.
