A Pair of Wooden Mid-Century Modern Alvar Aalto Stools Model 60, Artek 1950s

Creator: Alvar Aalto
Offered by: Haddadin Design

Description
A pair of iconic Mid-Century Modern stools by Alvar Aalto, made in the 1940s-50s. The ingenious stacking design has made these stools a timeless favourite and one of Aalto’s most enduring creations, cherished for nearly a century. This pair shows beautiful signs of age and use, having been lightly restored while preserving the rich patina and character accumulated over the years.

Alvar Aalto (1898–1976) was a world-renowned architect and designer, celebrated for his holistic approach that seamlessly integrated architecture, furniture, and lighting. His creative output spanned architecture, furniture, textiles, glassware, sculpture, and painting—yet he saw them all as branches growing from the same architectural tree.

Throughout his prolific career from the 1920s to the 1970s, Aalto’s work evolved from Classicism to Functionalism and eventually to the warm organic modernism that defined his mature style. Together with his wife Aino, he designed not only buildings but also their interiors, furnishings, and lighting—creating complete and harmonious environments.

Aalto’s innovative use of bent birch plywood revolutionized modern furniture design and left a lasting influence on Scandinavian and global design alike. His pieces remain highly sought after by collectors and museums worldwide, a testament to his enduring genius and vision
