Stool 60 Kontrasti
90 Years Stool 60 Anniversary
By Alvar Aalto
| Three legs and seat edge-band | : Solid birch, contrasting thermo-treated birch veneer inserts |
| Seat core | : Solid birch, contrasting thermo-treated birch veneer inserts |
| Seat surface | : Birch veneer |
| Dimensions | : 38 x 38 x 44 cm |
By inserting veneer sheets into incisions in each leg, birch wood is given the necessary flexibility to be bent into the desired L-shape. For Stool 60 Kontrasti thermo-treated birch veneer in a contrasting tone is used for the wood bending process to highlight the beauty of this great innovation. The same darker veneer strips reappear in the seat top, emphasising the economic use of wood offcuts from the legs in the construction of the seat.
Now, as in 1933, Stool 60 is made entirely from one raw material, and without complicated joinery. Stool 60 Kontrasti brings these virtues of responsible timber usage and holistic design thinking into focus.
