Artek Aalto stool 60 ColoRing
Description
The iconic Stool 60, designed by Alvar Aalto for Artek, has gotten a new look with the ColoRing technique. Released in 2019, the ColoRing range is part of the FIN/JPN Friendship Collection by Artek. The collection celebrates the 100th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Finland and Japan. Created by the Japanese architect and designer Jo Nagasaka, ColoRing surface treatment accents the natural grain patterns of the wood with bright colours. Based on the traditional Japanese Udukuri and Tsugaru-nuri techniques, ColoRing was developed by brushing soft-grained pinewood with a hard-haired brush and coating it with two layers of coloured lacquer. When the layers are subsequently sanded away, a colourful play of the grain patterns unveils beneath them. Artek has developed a semi-industrial process of Nagasaka's manual technique to bring it to a wider audience. The Stool 60, Bench 153B and Tea Trolley 901 of the ColoRing collection are manufactured in Finland.
