Rare Alvar Aalto Stool X602 with Fan Leg and Black Leather, Artek 1950s

Alvar Aalto stool model X602, manufactured in Finland by Oy Huonekalu-ja Rakennustyötehdas Ab back in the 1950s. A rare model, the X-leg stool is one of the simplest yet most brilliant designs by Alvar Aalto. Honey colored patinated bentwood (Seemingly Elm) legs with original leather padding, this stool shows clear signs of wear consistent with age and use. But as in life this wear and tare only adds character. In our opinion this sort of vintage patina is simply priceless.
