Paul Smith brings his signature eye for colour to Alvar Aalto’s iconic Stool 60, applying four shades from the brand’s distinctive Signature Stripe to its birch wood frame. Beneath the seat, a vivid ultramarine blue offers a playful surprise, inspired by the vibrant linings traditionally found inside Paul Smith suits.

Designed by Aalto in 1933, the Stool 60 is a masterclass in functional simplicity. Its elemental form allows it to serve effortlessly as a seat, side table, storage unit or display surface. Rooted in modernist principles and Finnish craftsmanship, the stool’s enduring appeal lies in Aalto’s original vision: a versatile, democratic object made from a single native material, birch.

Paul Smith’s reimagining celebrates that timeless design while giving it a distinctly contemporary, colourful character and it’s gorgeous!
