Could someone let me know if the Aalto stool E60 by Artek is the same design as the stool by IKEA.
They look very similar!

ymadec,
In your wildest dreams did you consider contacting the Alvar Aalto Museum (Jyväskylä) email: museum@alvaraalto.fi, The web link: http://www.alvaraalto.fi/index_en.htm
"They look very similar" That statement is without merit and meaningless.

I suspect the above exchange may be a display of conversation between two computer programs, "Artificial Intelligence" in action!
I'm excited to see what happens next! I suppose it will probably end up as just being some ad for a cell phone or something, but who knows.
I should probably insert some smiling 'emoticons' here

The Frosta stool is obviously meant to be a copy of the Aalto E60. But of course the proportions, materials, and finishes are different, and the legs of the Frosta are not bent in the distinctive Aalto way, so there is no chance that the Frosta would be mistaken for an E60 by anyone who was even slightly familiar with the Aalto stool.
