Designed to embody both modernism and functionalism, this rare sofa from around 1935 stands as a true masterpiece of Alvar Aalto's production. Featured in the design for The Social Insurance Institution of Finland (KELA) project between 1948 and 1956, this piece evokes Aalto's cherished concept of Gesamtkunstwerk (a complete work of art), emphasizing the integration between the surrounding environments and the interior spaces his designs inhabit.
