The K65 bar stool is a true classic - it was designed by the world-renowned Alvar Aalto in 1935 and has been appreciated ever since. It is an example of excellent craftsmanship and design tradition that has stood the test of time. The structure of the K65 follows Aalto's now famous L-shaped leg design, which is based on a bent leg shaped in the shape of an inverted L, onto which a seat is then mounted. The K65 is made of birch wood, which gives the chair a clean and elegant appearance.
You can't say Artek without also saying Alvar Aalto. The Finnish-born architect and designer was a large part of Artek, and is also behind a large part of Artek's most well-known furniture and lamp designs. Alvar Aalto experimented in the late 1920s with various forms of innovative manufacturing methods, which also resulted in the creation of the now world-famous 'L-leg' which can today be found on up to 36 Artek products such as the three-legged 60 stool, or the larger four-legged E60 stool.
