London Design Festival 2023: Stool 60, designed by Alvar Aalto for Artek, is celebrated in a new exhibition at Vitra's Tramshed
The idea of modifying a design classic in multiple functional ways – igniting a dialogue between modernism, mass-production and multi-usage products in the process – took seed following a request for the studio to provide around 150 stools for an event at a community space in Tokyo.
And so the fun began. The DDAA team came up with around 400 sketches, which were eventually whittled down to around 100 objects. Its ‘rules’ were clear and simple – added components were painted black; the stacking function was maintained as far as possible; and when creating new parts, the L-leg and top design were the focal points.
The end result? An encyclopaedia of inventively modified objects for daily life – from the curves and cut-out lines of horizontally stacking chairs to a cat basket, a bin and a chess board, plus material experimentation, from rubber to blackboard seats.
