The special anniversary edition of Artek's iconic stool, the Stool 60 Loimu—which translates to "flame" in English—is produced from an exceptionally rare birch variant distinguished by a flame-like grain that lies dormant in the natural wood. As the grain pattern is only fully revealed once the wood is prepared and treated, Loimu is dispatched in its raw, untreated state with an accompanying oil finishing set. The result is a beautiful, engaging, tactile experience for the owner, as completing the oil process creates a unique stool and establishes a deeper understanding of the design's ingenuity. As Alvar Aalto once said, “a standardized object is never a finished product, on the contrary, it is made to be completed by the individual’s human mind.”
