Another Alvar Aalto design from the 30's

.







I posted these images yesterday of 60's vase on a 30's Aalto tea trolley. Here's 
the other variant of the trolley we have, with a sculpture 'Paul' by Gary 
Deirmendjian, and ceramic objects 'Vita' by Michiko Shimada (Japanese, based 
in Brooklyn, N.Y.):
