Artek stools: the 60 and its relatives

The Artek 60 stool is one of the best-known pieces of Finnish furniture. Alvar Aalto designed it in 1933, with the L-leg bent from birch and a seat in natural lacquered birch veneer. It can be used as extra seating, a small table or a footstool, and stools can be stacked to save space. The design works at home and in public places where extra seating is needed.

Finishes and colours

The 60 comes in birch, black, white, walnut and laminated birch, and in colourful versions such as Birch/Orange, Green/Birch, Petroleum/Birch and Birch/Red. Honey lacquered and walnut stained versions give the same stool a warmer tone, and Birch/Black or Birch/White combine a wooden leg with a coloured seat.

E60 and the children's stools

Artek E60 is a variant of the same stool in birch, black, white, walnut and laminated birch. The NE60 is a children's stool in birch, birch/black and birch/white, and the N65 is a children's chair with a black linoleum or white laminated birch seat. The 64 bar stool in oak and black, at H65, is the taller cousin of the 60.

A footrest

Karuselli Ottoman in black and white is a soft footstool that belongs with the Karuselli armchair. Use it with the stools as extra seating around a sofa or a dining table. See Artek for the full range.
