(Tokyo based architect Daisuke Motogi’s research project and exhibition “Hackability of the Stool” features 100 ideas for altering Stool 60, designed by Alvar Aalto in 1933. This most elemental of furniture pieces has remained in continuous production since its creation and 2023 marks its 90th anniversary.
The stools in the exhibition have been hacked in various ways, resulting in charming sculptures. By adding elements, Motogi has turned Stool 60 into little domestic helpers in the shapes of a reading light, a clothes rack or a mirror, while other whimsical hacks transform it into a bin or an iron board, as an ode to the beauty of everyday chores.
In the beginning, they focused on functionality and form, adding the functions of household items onto the stool, or transforming existing tools into stools. Later ideas were centered around the user, transforming Stool 60 into sports equipment or pet homes.
They discussed which functions the stool should have.During a workshop, the participants brought up numerous suggestions, which were consolidated into the idea of a multifunctional stool.)
That was so amazing tgat they create many ideas and the actually make 100 of them come ture.
