About the Designer:

Born in 1898 in the quiet Finnish town of Kuortane, Alvar Aalto was not exactly surrounded by bustling cities or cutting-edge design. What he did have was nature—endless forests, serene lakes and landscapes that inspired his organic approach to design. Aalto’s knack for harmonizing modernism with the natural world was shaped by this environment from the start.


After studying architecture at the Helsinki Institute of Technology, Aalto set up his first practice in Jyväskylä. Early in his career, he leaned toward Nordic Classicism, but by the late 1920s, his work took a turn. He embraced modernist principles but gave them his signature twist: warmth and humanity.
