AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage bar stool – based on Alvar Aalto's Model 64
This timeless design is known for its organic shapes, bent wood, and functional Scandinavian aesthetics. It cannot be determined with certainty whether this is an original piece by Alvar Aalto | Artek; the stool is therefore offered as made to Model 64.
IKEA produced a series (Frosta) of plywood furniture. This series was very strongly inspired by Aalto's designs. However, this series was discontinued around 2016.
There were speculations that there was legal or copyright pressure, but there is no publicly verifiable confirmation that a lawsuit was the direct cause of the ending of this series.
All in all, this is a specimen with a turbulent backstory.
The bar stool has been used, but is in good, used condition, suitable for its age. Normal signs of use are present and contribute to the authentic vintage character.
Specifications
Height: 68 cm
Seat diameter: 32 cm
Diameter of the spacer ring: 38 cm
Width: 45 cm
Seat thickness: 3 cm
Seat material: plywood
Weight: 4.1 kg
A beautiful and functional piece that works well in both modern and traditional interiors — ideal for fans of Scandinavian design and mid-century style. Perfect as a bar stool at a kitchen island or high table, but also attractive as a decorative design object.
The stool is detachable and is shipped as such. It is packed carefully for shipping.
