Celebrating 90 years of Stool 60

To mark the 90th anniversary, special editions of the stool have been developed. Each edition commemorates Stool 60's great virtues—its unique construction and responsible production values, the beauty and variety to be found in Finnish wood, Stool 60's ageless longevity as well as its low ecological impact. Stool 60 Villi in collaboration with Formafantasma is now available and accompanies previously launched Stool 60 Loimu and Stool 60 Kontrasti.

Stool 60: a companion for life

Celebrating 90 years in continuous production, Artek’s Stool 60 is the most elemental of furniture pieces. Since 1933, Stool 60 has barely changed in either material or form, its simplicity and honesty have ensured its timelessness. Thanks to its ingenious construction and durability, each stool ages with grace and remains a true companion for life. Stool 60 has accompanied owners in their everyday life for almost a century, following them from home to home, often being passed on from one generation to the next.

Stool 60 effortlessly moves between all spheres of your home, and beyond. A popular seat for studying, working, dining or gathering, the stool easily adapts into a bedside table, plant stand or storage unit for books or a beloved object. It is compact enough to fit into smaller spaces, and can be stacked in a spiralling tower to save space, securing extra seats for spontaneous gatherings.

Practical, durable and full of beauty for the everyday, Stool 60 is a companion for life.

Celebrating 90 years of this humble design icon, we want to know how you use your own Stool 60. Join in on the celebrations by sharing a picture, video or illustration of your very own companion for life on social media. Follow us at @artekglobal to learn more. T&C's apply.
