The iconic three legged stool created in 1933 by Finnish Alvar Aalto for his and wife Aino Aalto’s firm Artek. This example from no later than the 1950s, has over the years developed a lovely deep honey like natural patina to the birch bentwood details. The original vinyl textile is in equal good condition, making this sculptural piece a great choice not only as a very functional stool, but also a small table or even a pedestal for another favourite piece of art.

All of our pieces are original, well travelled in time and space, sometimes from hand to hand more than once. As we find the ensuing patina part of the charm, we strive to bring the objects back to a new cycle of use as gently as possible making only minor, non intrusive alterations such as for instance replacing electric components where needed in lighting, or reupholstering a chair when the fabric is too frayed but the underlying structure beautiful. Please never hesitate to ask if you’d like to know more!
