“What are you looking for here?” asked Mr. Aalto—who then insist-
ed on showing us his apartment. In this simple two-bedroom
worker’s apartment, the Aaltos’ talent for solving spatial and tec-
tonic problems could be seen and felt. Within a small space,
the transition between the kitchen and the dining room was skill-
fully resolved by means of a pantry with a built-in cupboard.
Of course, there had to be a communal sauna in the lower level
of the main structure.
After Mr. Aalto dropped off his son at soccer practice, he imme-
diately took us to two unknown houses in nearby Espoo that
were built during World War Two—simple, unpretentious wooden
houses. On arrival, we started a conversation with one of the

“( ... ) Architecture and its details are in some way all part of biology.
Perhaps they are, for instance, like some big salmon or trout.
They are not born fully grown; they are not even born in the sea
or water where they normally live. They are born hundreds of
miles away from their home grounds, where the rivers narrow
to tiny streams, in clear rivulets between the fells, in the first
drops of water -from

life as human emotion and instinct are from our everyday work.
Just as it takes time for a speck of fish spawn to mature into a fully-
grown fish, so we need time for everything that develops and
crystallizes in our world of ideas. Architecture demands even
more of this time than other creative work.” 1
Alvar Aalto’s essay, “The Trout and the Stream,” first appeared in the
fall of 1947 with the Italian title, “Architettura e arte concreta,”
in the architecture and design journal, DOMUS. For this issue, then
editor-in-chief Ernesto Nathan Rogers asked his Finnish friend
and colleague Aalto to share his thoughts on the relationship be-
tween architecture and art. The result is a very personal text.
Using compelling metaphors, Aalto recounts his own experiences
with architectural projects as well as experiments with wooden
furniture designs and sculptural work, which he carried out with
his first wife, Aino. In a conversational tone, he describes the
Ionic column capital and his love of Italian architectural culture.

but also their fame beyond. Their modern designs and the cor-
responding production capabilities made it possible to fabricate
good, affordable furniture for everyday use. An essential goal
and distribution company, Artek, which they cofounded in 1935,
played an important role in the emergence of a modern domes-
tic culture in Helsinki and the rest of Finland. The fact that Artek’s
advertising slogan for quality furniture, “Buy Now Keep Forever,”
still holds true today speaks for itself.
Much has been written and even more has been speculated
about Alvar Aalto’s two marriages and his collaborations with his
wives. One of the first publications about Alvar Aalto was the
—still today—remarkable three-volume edition by Artemis Verlag,
published in Zurich in 1963.6 The introduction to the first vol-
ume includes a lengthy, heartfelt note of thanks from Aalto to his
current and former collaborators. Along with a brief curriculum
vitae, the introduction explicitly states that he ran his office as a
16
partnership with Aino Aalto from 1924 to 1949, and then with
Elissa Aalto from 1952 onward. This statement is confirmed by the
recollections of numerous employees and further supported
by the repeated observation that Alvar and Aino, and later Elissa,
complemented each other particularly well in the office setting,
both personally-and
- orderid professionally.-Despite
leh123050-1 transidthis,- all built projects -
leh123050-1
continue to be attributed to Alvar Aalto alone. It is astonishing
that, to this day, the achievements of his partners have not been
better researched and appropriately recognized.
The built work of Aino, Alvar, and Elissa Aalto is truly multifaceted,
joyfully exuberant in design, and at the same time authentic.
The Aaltos felt as much responsibility for the context as for the
exterior and interior of their buildings. But the strong relation-
- ship between
orderid the various elements
- leh123050-1 of their architecture
- transid - leh123050-1is most-
clearly revealed in their love for the smallest building compo-
nents—the details.
This catalog demonstrates that these are the very soul of their total
works of art. Through intense commitment, careful selection
of materials, and use of their own photographs, Céline Dietziker
and Lukas Gruntz have thoroughly explored this aspect of the
work of the three Aaltos. They deserve full recognition and heart-
felt thanks for this valuable, groundbreaking study.

established when he designed his first significant works.”
