Aino Aalto (1894-1949) was one of the most distinguished and innovative designers in 20th century Finland, yet her work is often overlooked. Aino was instrumental in creating many of the iconic furniture designs and architectural projects which were often completely attributed to her husband Alvar Aalto. She was also one of the founding members of the design company Artek. In reality the two of them had a very dynamic relationship that significantly influenced 20th century design in Finland.
