Alvar Aalto-Style Postmodern Stools, Set of 3

About the Item

Nice and simple set of (3) Postmodern stools in the style of the Artek Stool 60 by Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto. The originals were a 1930's design that utilized bentwood in a new and unique manner. The stool design has been replicated and paid homage to by many. This example includes nicely sloped seat edges and a bold Postmodern color combination of red and black. Three gracefully curved legs give the stools a sense of lightness and poise. So clean and well-designed to stack, these function perfectly as plant stands, night stands or extra seating. When furniture embodies simplicity, elegance, and functionality, the result is something that transcends time and becomes useful as much today as almost 100 years ago.
