Know before you buy
Yes, the cushion is engineered to fit the dimensions of the iconic Aalto stools perfectly. Its round shape and 13.78-inch diameter ensure a secure and aesthetic fit for those specific models.
The cover is crafted from a blend of 58% new wool and 36% cotton, which provides a soft, tactile, and durable texture. It offers the warmth and premium feel of wool while maintaining the breathability of cotton.
While it is optimized for the Aalto stool, the 13.78-inch round profile makes it a versatile accent piece. It works well on any flat-seated chair or stool that accommodates its specific dimensions.
The cushion is filled with polyester, which provides a consistent, comfortable loft. It is designed to add a layer of softness to hard wooden seats without being overly bulky.
Due to the wool-blend fabric, we recommend professional dry cleaning or spot cleaning with a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying to preserve the integrity of the woven pattern and the shape of the cushion.
