Beautiful city of Jyväskylä, Alvar Aalto Museum.
Building designed by Aalto himself (originally for city museum):
Beautiful interiors:
A lot of examples of great design:
However, one exhibit grabbed my attention - stool with L-shaped legs (designed in 1933):.
I remember such stools from my friends' kitchens in Kiev (my hometown). Stool was more convenient that regular square stools, however I've never thought about it as about something "designed". Just a stool.
Aalto didn't design things to be exclusive. All his pieces are simple and very functional, all of them are things for everyday life.
And museum took this approach.
Stools below are not exhibits (and not from 1933, of course). They are regular furniture for visitors' convenience:
How better designer's work could be recognized?
Just Timeless Design.
