A bit ironically and a bit because most people don’t have $750 for one chair and that these are still hand crafted and nice, if it was Ikea or some other company profiting off Aalto’s design I’d have a problem. I think it’s alright to help out this guy and his interpretation on it, I’ll probably just make these myself though. Also, I think it’s ridiculous how overpriced modernist furniture is nowadays, especially since the idea behind modernism is for affordability and mass production.
