Entry Description

Alvar Aalto was a storyteller. Each of his transformative works in wood formed a point on a line, each fully realized but never complete.

Aalto Chair disguises its functionality. Once activated it becomes a place to rest, the user displacing the appearance of the original form that it may afford a very particular kind of sitting. From this vantage, we look back through Alvar Aalto's stories, all the way to the beginning of the chair, and of Aalto himself: into the forest.

The bifunctional design of Aalto Chair provides the user with flexible options; whether they want to use it as a table or an ergonomic armchair.
