From our trip to Helsinki, Alvar Aalto’s House showed us how powerful plants become when they are integrated into the architecture. Both inside and outside, greenery is placed with intention, shaping light and movement. 🌞🪴
This approach is rooted in the way the Aaltos treated landscape and interiors as one continuous idea. Plants were central to the Aalto House. The garden was designed with the same care as the architecture, with plum trees framing the patio and creepers climbing across the facade until the building almost dissolves into the landscape. Aino Aalto, who had a deep interest in plants, would place Agave pots outside during the summer, folding seasonal greenery into the life of the house.
Nothing feels ornamental. The plants soften the space and set a calm, steady rhythm, shaping the atmosphere of a room rather and becoming part of the design itself. 🌱🌳
As our sale begins, this is what we carry with us: choose plants that influence how a room feels and moves, not just how it looks, letting them integrate into the space with intention.
