Alvar Aalto's furniture designs are a superb example of an uncompromising spirit that has managed to overcome the boundaries of style and taste, fashion and social class. The nearly 300 illustrations in this book, many in full color, document the range of Aalto's accomplishments from his first known work to the latest bentwood variations by Artek Studio, and include the architect's own working sketches.
