“Scandinavian Architecture and Design. The Masterpieces of Alvar Aalto. Scandi Christmas”

The lecture is delivered by Anastasia Martynova — an art historian, researcher, author of six popular science books, and a specialist in Scandinavian art.

During the lecture, you will learn:

• everything there is to know about the phenomenon of Scandi Christmas;

• why IKEA draws inspiration from Alvar Aalto;

• why Aalto designed ceilings with wave-like forms;

• which brands turned Scandinavian style into a global cult — and the surprising role played in this by Jacqueline Kennedy.

This is one of Anastasia Martynova’s finest original lectures —
featuring only reliable, carefully verified, and practically useful information, meticulously gathered from sources in three languages.
