Forest E60

Alvar Aalto’s four-legged Stool E60 is the most elemental of furniture pieces, equally suitable as a seat, table, storage unit, or display surface.‎ Projecting a sense of relaxed familiarity, Stool E60 is equally suited to the home, public buildings, and educational facilities.‎ 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.‎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.‎
