High & Low Culture


The Aalto glass dish has a surprising similarity to the shapes in the reindeer coasters. 


This cut tree stump resembles the Aalto glass dishes with their irregular curves.

Alvar Aalto designed this bent wood chair in 1929-1932, for a sanitorium.  He thought the rounded forms would be mentally and physically soothing, while exploring new manufacturing processes.
