18.5" seat round - 29" Tall - Yugoslavia
Alvar Aalto, a luminary in both Finnish architecture and furniture design, forged an enduring legacy with his distinctive approach. Renowned for merging functionality and aesthetics, Aalto's furniture seamlessly integrated organic forms with human-centric principles. A master of bending wood, he employed innovative techniques, notably evident in his iconic chairs and tables. Aalto's designs, often characterized by fluid lines and natural materials, transcended mere utilitarianism, embodying a harmonious synthesis of art and functionality. His visionary contributions persist as a cornerstone of modern furniture design, illustrating an unwavering commitment to elevating the user experience through thoughtful craftsmanship and enduring elegance.
The stool is typically made from a single piece of curved plywood that forms the seat and legs. The curved shape of the plywood provides a comfortable and ergonomic seating position, while the simplicity of the design makes it a versatile piece that can be used in a variety of settings.
If you're interested in purchasing a bent plywood stool in the style of Alvar Aalto, there are many options available from furniture retailers and online marketplaces. However, it's important to note that authentic Alvar Aalto stools can be quite expensive, so you may want to consider purchasing a reproduction or a similar design from a different manufacturer.
Notes: Some scrapes and bruising to the wood. I tried to take photos of issues the best I can
