Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) is the most prestigious Finnish architect of the last century, and the father of Nordic Modernism. He was also an outstanding town planner, painter and sculptor. Prior to this, the architect's Paimio Sanatorium (1929) and Viipuri Library (1935), both in Finland, had already attracted international praise. Aalto's Modernism entailed the use of natural materials, warm colors, and undulating lines, and he is considered an important early exponent of Organic Design as a result. Iconic pieces include the Savoy Vase, the Paimio Chair and the Beehive Lamp. Everything else is at least for me an abuse of paper." In the U.S. This monograph on Aalto's highly collectible furniture designs expands our understanding of the diverse abilities of this influential architect/designer.. Aalto's critical reception began with his design for the Finnish Pavilion at the 1939 World Fair in New York: Frank Lloyd Wright described it as a "work of genius."

Of his design work outside of architecture, Aalto's vases, lamps, glassware and laminated bent-plywood furniture (pioneered and produced through the design company he co-founded, Artek) are equally esteemed

Well worth the money if you are in the branding, merchandising and package design areas of marketing and graphic design.. This small book is a good look into the work of a designer whose work I admire. Good introductory book, useful insights and quite motivational. He has influenced so much design that is still with us today.. This book is great but unfortunately it was not it its original wrapping and had dirt and scuff marks on the cover - a real shame as the purpose of this book was to be displayed on my coffee table :(. It doesnt give you any guidelines on how to create a package or the trends to follow, but it shows how package is designed and made according to the product and market which they are directed.. Up to date, very well illustrated examples of contemporary packaging and package design. I loved this book, lots of great advice and motivation. Very easy to read, a must have for freelance illustrators!Also a great source of information, links, documents and more, from inspiration to taxes.. If you are into package design, YOU NEED THIS BOOK, it has an amazing collection o products in which the package is no only for protect but also a great visual presentation of the product. I truly admire artists who take the time to share their knowledge and inspire others like Mark Dickson does.. Didn't give 5 stars because for a Kindle book the price is hig
