Alvar Aalto's L-leg was developed with the help of furniture manufacturer Otto Korhonen and shaped by cutting and steaming birch wood to make it malleable. Aalto referred to it as "the little sister of the architectural column." Its adaptability meant that it could be used as the basis for stools, seats and tables. 🇫🇮 #alvaraalto 📷: @abelsloane1934
