Aino + Alvar Aalto: A Life Together

Aino and Alvar Aalto, co-founders of Artek, shaped some of the most iconic buildings and objects of the twentieth century. In this intimate volume, their grandson shares the story of their partnership—both creative and personal—through letters, drawings, documents, and family photographs. Many of these materials, including deeply personal correspondence with one another, friends, and colleagues, are published here for the first time.

The first monograph devoted to celebrating their shared life and work, this book offers a warm and accessible portrait of one of design’s most influential couples. Drawing from the family’s private archive of letters, sketches, and snapshots, it reveals the unconventional lives they led together in Finland and abroad, up until Aino’s passing in 1949.
