Aino + Alvar Aalto: A Life Together

A visual biography of Aino and Alvar Aalto, who together founded Artek and created some of the most celebrated objects and buildings of the twentieth century.

Through letters, documents, drawings, and family photographs, Alvar and Aino’s grandson tells the stories of their life together, in Finland and abroad, drawing on many of the never-before-published letters they sent to each other and to family, friends, and colleagues, until Aino’s death in 1949. The first monograph to specifically examine and celebrate the life and work of Aino and Alvar as a shared endeavor, this personal and intimate look at the unconventional lives of one of the most influential design couples of the twentieth century.
