This booklet is published by Finmar Company in England. The company worked in close cooperation with the architect Alvar Aalto and with Oy Artek Ab, which was founded in Helsinki in 1935. The Finnish architect has succeeded in perfecting a method of woodworking especially well adapted to the making of chairs. The chairs are extremely comfortable; they are light and take up very little room. In appearance they are elegant, their flowing lines lending them a personal, modern character. As the chairs are only waxed and polished, the excellent craftmanship can be examined without difficulty. These described chairs, together with other articles of furniture, have been christened Aalto products. This booklet presents pictures of stackable chairs and stools, more comfortable chairs, tables, bookcases, children’s furniture, a desk and Aalto’s famous tea-trolley.

A history of one of the most important institutions in Danish furniture design culture, the Fritz Hansen company which started as a family carpenter and furniture manufacturer in 1847 in a small Danish town. The Fritz Hansen firm worked closely from the beginning with architects to develop new furniture design, and the 100-year cooperation has led to very high standards and set many precedents for the concept of “Danish Design”. The book also features several other significant designers of furniture, and presents them in relation to developments in building design and corporate culture since the turn of the century. Includes Hans J. Wegner, Børge Mogensen, Arne Jacobsen, Piet Hein, Poul Kjærholm and Verner Panton.
