Bar Stool 64 was designed by Alvar Aalto in 1936 for the Finnish furniture manufacturer Artek. It is a further development of the classic E60, which was sketched in 1933 by Alvar Aalto. The stool came to represent the pinnacle of functional furniture design with its simple shape and clean lines. The idea behind the iconic stools is based on four, slightly curved legs that are combined with a round seat. The secret lies in the unique curvature of the legs, which later became a distinctive feature of all of Alvar Aalto's furniture.

The bar stool is made entirely of birch and is a very functional stool that can be used as a side table and of course as a regular stool. The bar stool is available in two heights and a multitude of options, and the most classic is made entirely of birch. Over the years, several designs have been developed, including a seat in black linoleum and one in white laminate, as well as a fully lacquered seat in several different colors and a variant with an upholstered seat.
