Stool

Alvar Aalto’s iconic Stool is the most elemental of furniture pieces, equally suitable as a seat, a table, storage unit, or display surface. The legs are mounted directly to the underside of the round seat without the need for complicated connecting elements. Thanks to its geometry, the stool can be stacked to save space in a spiralling tower sculpture. Manufactured in 42 production steps at the A-Factory in Turku, Finland, Stool is available in a wide variety of colours and finishes. Several million units of Stool and its four-legged cousin, Stool, have been sold, making it one of the most cherished products in the history of design.
