Aalto Bar Stool For Sale on 1stDibs

At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal aalto bar stool for your home. Each aalto bar stool for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using wood, birch and bentwood. Your living room may not be complete without a aalto bar stool — find older editions for sale from the 20th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 21st Century. When you’re browsing for the right aalto bar stool, those designed in Mid-Century Modern and Scandinavian Modern styles are of considerable interest. Many designers have produced at least one well-made aalto bar stool over the years, but those crafted by Alvar Aalto and Artek are often thought to be among the most beautiful.

How Much is a Aalto Bar Stool?

Prices for a aalto bar stool can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, they begin at $350 and can go as high as $2,800, while the average can fetch as much as $1,200.

Finding the Right Stools for You

Stools are versatile and a necessary addition to any living room, kitchen area or elsewhere in your home. A sofa or reliable lounge chair might nab all the credit, comfort-wise, but don’t discount the roles that good antique, new and vintage stools can play.

“Stools are jewels and statements in a space, and they can also be investment pieces,” says New York City designer Amy Lau, who adds that these seats provide an excellent choice for setting an interior’s general tone. 

Stools, which are among the oldest forms of wooden furnishings, may also serve as decorative pieces, even if we’re talking about a stool that is far less sculptural than the gracefully curving molded plywood shells that make up Sōri Yanagi’s provocative Butterfly stool

Fawn Galli, a New York interior designer, uses her stools in the same way you would use a throw pillow. “I normally buy several styles and move them around the home where needed,” she says.

Stools are smaller pieces of seating as compared to armchairs or dining chairs and can add depth as well as functionality to a space that you’ve set aside for entertaining. For a splash of color, consider the Stool 60, a pioneering work of bentwood by Finnish architect and furniture maker Alvar Aalto. It’s manufactured by Artek and comes in a variety of colored seats and finishes.

Barstools that date back to the 1970s are now more ubiquitous in kitchens. Vintage barstools have seen renewed interest, be they a meld of chrome and leather or transparent plastic, such as the Lucite and stainless-steel counter stool variety from Indiana-born furniture designer Charles Hollis Jones, who is renowned for his acrylic works. A cluster of barstools — perhaps a set of four brushed-aluminum counter stools by Emeco or Tubby Tube stools by Faye Toogood — can encourage merriment in the kitchen. If you’ve got the room for family and friends to congregate and enjoy cocktails where the cooking is done, consider matching your stools with a tall table.

Whether you need counter stools, drafting stools or another kind, explore an extensive range of antique, new and vintage stools on 1stDibs.
