Designed by Alvar Aalto in 1933, the classic Artek Stool 60 is considered the definition of functionalist furniture design. The Hella Jongerius Edition of the stool recasts Aalto’s classic design with colorful seats and legs, including this blue seat with charcoal legs. The result is a thoughtful re-imagination that retains Aalto’s classic, functional design.
