Summary:
Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto (1898-1976), the most important Finnish architect of the twentieth century, was also one of the most noteworthy modern furniture designers. His complete system of furniture-including stools, chairs, armchairs, and tea trolley with oversized wheels, all characterized by curving lines-was considered exemplary and acquired by the New York Museum of Modern Art as early as 1938. In collaboration with his first wife Aino Marsio (1894-1949), he also designed organic, floral forms in glass. His legendary Savoy Vase of 1936, created for the hotel of the same name, and the group of bowls designed to be combined to form the "Aalto Flower" have often been compared to sculptures and paintings of Classical Modernism. This extensive publication presents the pioneering furniture, glass objects, and lamps of Alvar and Aino Aalto in a large selection of photographs, paintings, drawings, and sketches. Texts by Björn Egging, Thomas Kellein.

Plus que tout, il a fait de la courbe sa signature, puisant son inspiration dans la nature, jouant de la lumière rasante du soleil de minuit, magnifiant la neige et les forêts de bouleaux. Né à une époque où l'éclectisme régnait en maître, il a au fil des années parcouru les styles, du romantisme national au modernisme pur et dur, avant d'assouplir son oeuvre en s'ouvrant à l'humanisme. Alvar Aalto, ou l'architecture réenchantée.
