We are happy to share new international praise for AINO + ALVAR AALTO: A Life Together, published in English and French by Phaidon Press! English edition was translated by David Hackston.
“This characteristically elegant Phaidon publication, lush with images, is remarkably personal … A beautiful and important contribution to architecture and design history.”
– Booklist, starred review
“Unique … Such an intimate level of access is possible thanks to the fact that the author is a grandson and has done much to preserve the designers’ legacy.”
– Interior Design
“An intimate look inside a partnership that was both romantic and commercial … Together, the Aaltos were stronger than they were apart.”
– Dwell
Meanwhile, the Japanese edition of the title, published by Soshisha and translated by Mihoko Ueyama, was recently featured at the European Literature Festival in Japan!
And in Italy, the launch of the Italian edition – published by Salani and translated by Nicola Raino – coincides with the MAXXI museum’s Aalto exhibition!
The rights for this beautiful title are still available in e.g. Germany, Sweden, World Spanish, Denmark, Poland, etc.
