ABOUT PRODUCTID 11121
This pair of NE60 stools, designed by Alvar Aalto for Artek and produced in Finland in the 1980s, embodies the essence of Scandinavian modernism. The construction features three bent birch legs seamlessly joined to a round seat, which is covered with vivid, saturated red linoleum that lends a subtle sheen. The light, semi-matte birch wood contrasts with the bold color of the seat, resulting in a striking yet balanced combination. Visible joinery at the seat and legs and gently rounded edges highlight the craftsmanship and attention to user comfort and safety. The stools are preserved in very good vintage condition, showing only minor signs of use such as a small scratch on one seat, with no major damage or restoration.The NE60 stools evoke the spirit of the 1930s and Alvar Aalto’s design philosophy, where functionality intertwined with organic softness of form. In this pair, the story of Nordic design resonates: warm birch, the bold accent of linoleum, and Aalto’s innovative approach to wood bending, which imparted lightness and modern rhythm to furniture. Every detail seems to recount an era where simplicity and practicality were the hallmarks of a new aesthetic—timelessness that still finds its place in contemporary interiors.The NE60 stools can serve as seating by a low coffee table in the living room or as side tables, where their vibrant color becomes a lively accent. Pairing them with other light wood furniture, geometric rugs, or minimalist lighting will emphasize their modernist heritage. Interiors inspired by mid-century modern, Scandinavian minimalism, or eclectic collector’s spaces will particularly bring out the character of this pair—they may also be used in a children’s room, where function meets expressive form.
