Vintage birch stool by Alvar Aalto from Artek, Finland, 1950s

A lovely wooden stool made of high quality birch wood in highly recognizable design by Alvar Aalto. This lovely piece has a nice Scandinavian style: smooth shapes, high quality wood and a straight forward design. The seat is coloured red, which is a very nice detail. It remains in good, vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina.
