Forest 69

Chair 69 is one of Artek’s most popular chairs, a universal wooden chair in the tradition of classic kitchen and café chairs.‎ With a broad seat and supportive backrest, Chair 69 exudes durability and stability while retaining an elegance of line.‎ Available in a variety of colours and finishes.‎Reintroduced in 2024 by Formafantasma in an unprecedented wild birch variant.‎ The Forest Collection is part of an ongoing collaboration between Artek and Formafantasma, an Italian design studio that investigates how environmental, political and social forces influence design today.‎ With the launch of the 'wild birch' variants of the Stool 60 and E60 originally launched in 2023 - they will be updated to become even wilder.‎ While the Stools currently only show natural marks on the legs, all Stool 60 and E60 in 'wild birch' will in future also feature insect marks and small knots on their upper surfaces, as well as a matt finish.‎ The update will apply to all 'wild birch' variants of the Stool 60 and E60 produced from 25 April 2024 onwards.‎
