Alvar Aalto, Wooden Room Divider, Screen 100 in Pine, Artek 1960s
-
Description
The 100 slatted wall / room divider by Alvar Aalto is a dynamic interior element assembled from narrow vertical pine slats and can be rolled up and opened as a straight or in numerous curved positions. At 150-centimeter-high, the slatted wall divides the space without obscuring the view. It is also easy to move from one place to another to bring a warm feeling of wood to the room. This wall is a perfect example of Aalto's ability to combine traditional material with organic form and present it with a modern twist.
Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) is a world famous architect and designer. He was well known for designing his own line of furniture and lighting for the numerous buildings that he designed worldwide. His work includes architecture, furniture, textiles, glassware, sculptures and paintings. He never regarded himself as an artist, seeing painting and sculpture as branches of a tree that stem from architecture.
Aalto's career from the 1920s-1970s is reflected in the styles of his work, ranging from Classicism to Modernism and to an organic style from the 1940s onwards. Aalto and his wife Aino were famous for not only designing the buildings, but the interior surfaces, furniture, lamps and even the glassware for those buildings. Aalto's furniture designs are Scandinavian Modernism at its best, especially his technical innovations on the bent plywood furniture, which in turn had a great impact on Mid-Century Modernist furniture.
Aalto's works are highly sought after and some fetch record prices in auctions and the design world. Of course his works are also widely collected and can be found in numerous private collections and famous museums. -
