Stool 60 Celebration

Alvar Aalto, 1933

Stool 60 Celebration cut-out

The anniversary edition Stool 60 Celebration by Artek + Moomin ensures there is always an extra seat at the table for any unexpected guest who happens to stop by. The stool has illustrations by Tove Jansson laser engraved onto the seat top and bentwood legs. The artwork is a mix of doodle-like line drawings combined with hand-written texts from Jansson`s earliest notebooks and Moomin stories, reminiscent of furtive scribbles hidden under an old school desk. To underline the nostalgic vintage character, the reinterpreted Aalto piece comes in a honey stain finish.

Artek + Moomin S1 2025 in-situ
Artek + Moomin celebrates Finnish hospitality at its best — when it is informal and impromptu.

Stool 60 Celebration is part of the Artek + Moomin collection which marks a dual celebration for Artek and Moomin in 2025. Just as Artek turns 90, the 80th anniversary of Tove Jansson’s first Moomin story, The Moomins and the Great Flood, is also being marked. The two companies are coming together for the occasion to raise a toast to shared values of inclusivity and togetherness. 

Stool 60 Celebration is available to buy from Artek stores and selected distribution partners from 20 March, 2025.
