World-famous architect. Pioneering modernist. One of the greatest. This is about Alvar Aalto, and where better to sell his designs than in Helsinki?
Stockholms Auktionsverk Helsinki has selected over 50 lots featuring his glass, furniture, and lighting. For the true enthusiasts, there are some exquisite lamps designed for the Paimio Sanatorium. Among the seating furniture, a rare early prototype stands out—just as much a sculpture as a piece of furniture in a spacious living room. But don’t miss the design language of the pair of Model 503 armchairs—strict, restrained, yet unmistakably unique. A biomorphic dish provides the perfect contrast.
