the real thing - part 1

Whilst in Helsinki, I went on a little excursion on the tram out to the suburbs to find the house Alvar Aalto designed and lived in for 40 years. It was his home and also working studio for many years.
It's a mixture of his well known furniture, vases and lights and also one off sample pieces which never went into production. Alongside Aalto's pieces, are designs from both his first wife Aino - a superb designer and second wife Elissa - also an architect.

These are from the upstairs bedrooms.
