About the Item

Lovely pair of massive bronze casted door handles. They could be used inside or outside. ________________________________________________________ Son travail comprend également le mobilier, les textiles et la verrerie, ainsi que des sculptures et des peintures, bien qu'il n'ait jamais été considéré comme un artiste : il considère la peinture et la sculpture comme les « branches de l'arbre dont le tronc est l'architecture ». Le début de carrière d'Aalto va de pair avec la croissance économique rapide et l'industrialisation de la Finlande, au cours de la première moitié du xxe siècle et bon nombre de ses clients étaient des industriels, dont la famille Ahlström-Gullichsen. L'étendue de sa carrière, des années 1920 aux années 1970, se reflète dans les styles de son œuvre, allant du classicisme nordique des premières années, au modernisme rationnel de style international, dans les années 1930, en passant par un modernisme plus organique, à partir des années 1940. Cependant, ce qui caractérise toute sa carrière, c'est le souci du design en tant qu'œuvre d'art totale (en Gesamtkunstwerk, qui fait qu'avec sa première femme Aino Aalto, il conçoit non seulement les bâtiments, mais aussi les surfaces intérieures, les meubles, lampes, ameublement et la verrerie. Bien que la Finlande ne soit pas un pays scandinave, ses créations de meubles sont assimilées à du design scandinave, dans le sens d'un souci de matériaux, en particulier, le bois, et de simplification mais aussi d'expérimentation technique, ce qui lui a valu des brevets pour divers procédés de fabrication, tels que le bois courbé. Le musée Alvar Aalto, conçu par Aalto lui-même, est situé dans ce qui est considéré comme sa ville natale de Jyväskylä. Nombre de ses bâtiments s'intègrent de façon harmonieuse dans le paysage, avec lequel ils forment un tout architectural. Le bois et la brique constituent ses matériaux de prédilection. Alvar Aalto a conçu lui-même les meubles pour la plupart de ses bâtiments. On lui doit entre autres la Villa Mairea à Noormarkku, la Maison Finlandia à Helsinki et le campus de l'université technique d'Helsinki.
