Artek’s Aalto bar stool 64 was designed by Alvar Aalto in 1935. The bar stool 64 works equally well at a kitchen counter or desk at home as it does in cafés or bar settings. The bar stool features a fully symmetrical design, and the footrest ensures a comfortable sitting position.
Artek’s bar stool is constructed from the standardised components of the system developed by Aalto. The revolutionary leg-bending technique involves sawing the wood from the end into a fan-like shape and gluing thin veneers into the open grooves. The result is an exceptionally strong structure that is joined to the seat of the bar stool.
