Exclusive Stool 60 in Linoleum & Natural Lacquered Birch

Newly premiered and only available at The Conran Shop, Alvar Aalto's career-defining Stool 60 is reintroduced in a fusion of linoleum and natural lacquered birch, complete with a complementary colour palette.

Designed in 1933, the iconic Stool 60 represents the pinnacle of functionalist furniture design, characterised by its revolutionary curved L-leg. This edition is intricately fashioned from solid birch wood in Finland, topped by a linoleum seat. The natural and tactile qualities of the linoleum offer an enduring, low-maintenance and elegant finish.

Commissioned for the municipal library at Viipuri, the stackable, versatile seating solution came about by bending a piece of birch to a 90° angle. Thus, the innovative L-leg was formed, eliminating the need for a complicated framework or support and creating Aalto's signature streamlined aesthetic.
