The move from steel tubes to bent wood and the 'laboratory experiments' with wood which Aalto carried out in order to create furniture gave him vital impulses as he sought and found his own architecture style in the 1930s. Like his architecture Aalto's chair designs represent a 'humanized' interpretation of the severe aesthetic and radical technological experimentation of the Modern Movement. The purpose of this study is to find what is the result of the form of his works on the basis of main idea and tend of his works, to search the element and principle of formal composition, to establish the relation-ship between the architect's philosophy and the form of his works. Aalto's furniture, constructed of laminate bent wood or moulded plywood, is not only functionalistic, but also ideal for the psychological need of the people, which is the special quality that complements the Factionalism that features mostly on the metal tube furniture. It shows that Aalto is a humanist dealing with mechanized age.
