This tendency was even clearer in the sinuous curves of the furniture and glassware in the show.

 TIME.com: PRICKLY INDIVIDUALIST: FINLAND'S AALTO -- Oct. 5, 1959 -- Page 1
BRIGHTEST star among the bright young architects of the 1930s was a dour-looking, dynamic Finn named Alvar Aalto.
His TB sanatorium at Paimio, Finland, with its cantilevered decks, was a landmark in the new international style.
Almost singlehanded he had made wood a "modern material," used it in a dazzling variety of ways—an undulating ceiling for a library in Viipuri, an undulating wall for the Finnish Pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair—and the tastemakers of the era all sat in Aalto's curved plywood chairs.
