The handle that could win the Compasso d'Oro
How can design speak of care? This handle goes beyond its primary function and rediscovers the symbolic value of design.
To these, a small exhibition in Paris has been dedicated, set up by the Finnish Institute and organised in collaboration with the Alvar Aalto museum in Finland.
The exhibition includes a selection of seven houses presented with photographs, models and furniture. The accent is naturally placed on the human dimension of the spaces created by Aalto over almost fifty years (from 1924 to 1972). This along with a careful use of natural light (“a window without shutters is like an eye without an eyelid” he maintained) and on the inevitable relationship with the natural surroundings.
