Why "Aalto"?

Alvar Aalto, Finnish architect, urban planner and furniture designer (*1898, †1976) is considered as founder of organic, nature- and people-centered building and design. The common notion to architecture as "frozen music" relates to Aalto in a special manner. Our logo is inspired by the balconies of the Aalto Opera House in Essen/Germany. (→read more)
