About the Item
Alvar Aalto was a Finnish Architect and Furniture designer whose career spanned from the 1920s to the 1970s, this book shows the progress of his designs from the 1920s Classic designs with modern twists through to what was to be referred to as "Scandinavian Modern" in the latter years of his career. He was best know for his use of moulded plywood and tubular metal in his designs and for creating stackable seating both in chairs and stools. The most famous chair he designed was the cantilevered birchwood Paimio chair which is featured in the book. The book is in good condition, 179 pages with English text and fully illustrated throughout with drawings and photographs. There is part of the first free end paper been cut-out, presumably the previous owners name.
