comment
Here is carving and clay sculpture of the fireplace on the back side. It is a few plasticity examples of Aalto's work in the curvilinear design which he shows everywhere. He designed the fireplace itself as one sculpture by using a curvilinear design as feminine shape. The traditional fireplace in Finland would be interpreted to a modern fireplace.
