Issue 6 Stool 60:

Stool 60, designed in 1933 by architect Alvar Aalto, is the archetype that you probably imagine when hearing the word “stool,” and it is a representative piece of Finnish furniture. Using solid Finnish birch to enhance durability, Aalto created the signature L-shaped legs with a bentwood technique, which also streamlined the stool’s production process. Its potential for a wide range of applications and mass production makes the Stool 60 the most “human” chair to come from the mind of this architect committed to making human-centered designs.
