Vintage birch wood (bentwood) stacking stool in the style of Alvar Aalto Model E60, Finland, 1930-1960s

Vintage birch wood stool, produced in the style of Model E60 by Alvar Aalto for Artek.

This mid-century stacking stool draws inspiration from Alvar Aalto's iconic Model E60 design, embodying the principles of Scandinavian modernism. Crafted from birch plywood with laminated bentwood legs, it features a circular seat secured with flat-head slotted screws into metal inserts. While not an original Artek production, the construction quality and design approach suggest a thoughtful mid-20th century interpretation, likely from a Scandinavian workshop. The laminated leg construction distinguishes it from Aalto's original solid bent birch design, positioning this piece as an independent homage to the era's functional aesthetic.

Dimensions: H 45,5 cm x D 41 cm
