I LOVE this chair designed by Finish architect and designer Alvar Aalto in 1929, which was shared with us in a brief introduction to ‘the history of style’ during my first lecture at KLC. Aalto is best known for his contributions to modern architecture and building design at the beginning of the 20th century when he expanded into interior design and furnishings in a collaborative effort with his wife, Aino Marsio-Aalto, creating pieces that were organic and always had a deep sense of humanity.The armchair seat and back are made of curved plywood and the arms and base are laminate and curved beech.
