This stackable stool was designed by Alvar Aalto during the years of 1932-33. Aalto developed the bent L-shaped leg to achieve his ultimate design aesthetic which mixed art and nature with technology. This unique bending technology became the basis of Stool 60 and was later patented. Both the seat and legs are comprised of solid birch veneer accented with red linoleum on the seat's surface.

I recently read that this stool is one of the five most photographed pieces of furniture in the world and that many museums have it in their collection.
It is very well made and easy to assemble. It looks great. The best part is that it is still made in Finland!
What are the dimensions and what tools do I need to assemble? Does it come with instructions? (I really like the Artek Alvar Chairs I have - I purchased them already assembled)
1 Answer
the stool is 15" wide by 17-3/8" wide (this information can also be found on the secondary image).
You only need a screwdriver to assemble the stool
