Set of Two Stackable Stools, Model "Frosta" by IKEA, 1990s

About the Item

This pair of stackable stools from the 1990s—model "Frosta" by IKEA—embodies the clarity and practicality that define Scandinavian design. Crafted from molded birch plywood and finished with a transparent varnish, their form is both unpretentious and deliberate. The design clearly echoes the iconic E60 stool by Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, drawing on the same language of curved plywood legs and circular seat. Yet this version carries its own voice—lightweight, efficient, and adapted for mass production without losing sight of aesthetic integrity. Each leg is glued and reinforced with two slotted screws, emphasizing function and structural honesty. Compact and stackable, the stools integrate effortlessly into a wide range of spaces. Whether used as seating, a side table, or simply as a design accent, they offer quiet versatility. With their Bauhaus-inspired simplicity and understated charm, these pieces reflect the democratic spirit of late 20th-century design—accessible, adaptable, and enduring.
