It was 1933 when Alvar Aalto designed the Stool 60, yet it remains today the most copied stool style today. FinnStyle is proud to carry the only authentic Aalto stool manufactured by Artek, which uses the original patented design and manufacturing technology to create the bent L-shaped leg. Aalto's design is special in many ways, but was pioneering in its utilitarian philosophy and minimalist aesthetic. The stackable stool was originally designed with three legs, but is also offered in a four-leg version (E60) and bar stool style (K65). It truly a timeless piece of functionalist furniture, which can be used as a stool, side table, plant stand and more.

Finnish design has a long history and is know for simplicity, functionality, and craftsmanship. It's trademark designs emerged in the early 20th century, and gained international attention through pioneers like Alvar Aalto in architecture and furniture, as well as companies such as Iittala, Artek, and Marimekko. Their work emphasized clean lines, natural materials, and a harmonious balance between beauty and practicality. Everything must have a purpose. Iconic products like the Aalto vase, Artek’s Stool 60, and Marimekko’s bold textile patterns established Finland as a leader in modernist design. Over the next century, Finnish design became synonymous with high quality, technical skill, and timeless aesthetics—qualities that have earned it global recognition, particularly during the postwar years when Nordic design was celebrated worldwide, and still is. Today, Finnish products continue to enjoy international respect, not only for their aesthetic value but also for their reputation of reliability, thoughtful construction, and cultural authenticity.
