Monocle Magazine and Finnish company Artek have teamed up to produce a limited-edition version of Alvar Aalto's iconic Stool 60. Designed to celebrate the stool's 75th Anniversary, this new interpretation is covered in Finnish moose leather that is attached with black iron nails and brass screws. The materials were chosen to age gracefully and complement the aging of the classic birch stool...


Artek;s creative director, Tom Dixon, is no stranger to limited edition pieces. The company recently introduced the 2nd Cycle series that celebrates aged furniture. Via: notcot.org and selectism.

Moose Leather?
Do they serve Moose Burgers in Finland too?
Really? Moose leather? How barbaric! It would look just as nice in pleather.
Y'know, they have plenty of reindeer in Finland. They coulda covered it in Rudolph-skin! (It's quite lovely,actually. A suitor once sent me reindeer boots. Better than anything Uggs ever came up with.)
