Aalto, Alvar (Finnish architect and designer, 1898-1976)
|
Note: Aalto, famous for his bent plywood furniture, began designing furniture in the early 1930s. His furniture, like his architecture, reveals his attention to simple practical needs, a proclivity for linear elegance, and an innate understanding of natural forms and textures. His famous library at Viipuri (ca. 1927) is in the International Style. He also designed some significant glass bowls in the 1930s that are among the earliest examples of 'free form' in a utilitarian object. |
