Aino & Aalvar Alto

Finnish husband and wife duo Alvar and Aino Aalto are hailed as pioneers of the contemporary Scandinavian aesthetic, offering their creative output to architecture and design. Founding the distinguished furniture company Artek, they 'advanced the notion that human emotion and natural forms could be used as a source of organic architecture and design while also remaining rationally and structurally modern,' as proclaimed by the V&A.
