Alvar Aalto - The Father Of Modernism

alvar_aalto.jpg

Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto.

He has been called the father of modernism.

A Finnish designer and architect his work includes furniture, textiles, architecture and glassware.

His vase designs are world-renowned.

In 1932 he invented a new form of laminated bent-plywood furniture.

But aside from being a superb designer and architect Aalto also was a bit of a card and enjoyed his prominence.

In fact, he was a handful of Finns who could delay a Finnair flight.

And of course, Aalto took the airline up on this privilege often, even to the point of instructing his chauffeur to drive around the airport to ensure that he would be fashionably late and the flight would wait for him and he could enter with style and panache.

His designs were simple and yet so elegant.
