Artek launches Stool 60 Sleeping Beauty
As part of the 90th anniversary celebrations of Stool 60, Artek introduces Stool 60 Sleeping Beauty in collaboration with Tsuyoshi Tane.
Inspired by the concept of graceful aging, while paying homage to the near-century old trees used in the making of each stool, Tsuyoshi Tane’s Stool 60 Sleeping Beauty explores ways to capture the patina of age and experience in a new edition. By burying raw birch sections in soils collected from different sites in Japan, Tane examined the effect each had on the untreated wood. Sections submerged in calcium-rich soil took on a yellow hue, while volcanic- or aluminium-laden soil resulted in the wood taking on black or white tones respectively.
