Aino + Alvar Aalto / A Life Together.

About the productJapanese

"I have always felt that the biggest difference between Aalto and the masters of modernist architecture - Le Corbusier, Mies, and Wright - is his stance toward women. Corbusier and his colleagues were, in a word, macho and oppressive toward women. This caused them to have a lot of trouble. However, Aalto's respect and kindness for his wife Aino is connected to the kindness of his designs," says Kuma Kengo (from a comment in the film "AALTO").

Compared to the "masters of modernist architecture" who tended to have many straight lines and sophisticated buildings and interiors, Aalto's designs, such as the "Stool 60," "Armchair Paimio," and "Aalto Vase," have a softer impression with their curved lines. Aino Aalto supported him both in public and private life as his wife and partner. This book, which is like a biography of the couple, introduces not only their architectural and interior works, but also their memories of their time in Finland, letters they wrote to each other, drawings, and sketches of the city, with over 400 illustrations and abundant text.
