Architect Daisuke Motogi is the mind behind the Hackability of the Stool exhibition, which is made up of one hundred alternative concepts for the Stool 60 by Finish designer Alvar Aalto. It is a part of the London Design Festival and marks 90 years of the three-legged furniture, which is a flat-packed piece of timber first created by Aalto back in 1933. Motogi created 100 versions of the stool and some of these creative ways imagine a loo roll holder and a chessboard.
These were all showcased in the Vibra showroom along with pinned-up sketches. Furniture brand Artek by Aalto explains, "A masterpiece of modernist design, Stool 60 was the perfect choice as being made from wood, it is easy to modify, and being stackable, it is easy to store. The stool is also easy to disassemble and reassemble, and it can be flat-packed for efficient transportation."
