The Alvar Alto Chair. I want it. This chair is called the Paimio Chair was devised to ease the breathing of tubercolosis patients in a combination of moulded wood and plywood which, Aalto believed, would be warmer and more comfortable than metal. When the Paimio Sanatorium was completed in 1933, the influential critic Siegfried Giedion hailed it as a modernist masterpiece alongside Walter Gropius’ Bauhaus Dessau and Le Corbusier’s League of Nations project. Aalto was still only 35 years old.

George Seurat and Ben. The name of this painting is "Sunday Afternoon on the island of La Grande Jatte" by George Seurat painted in (1859 - 1891). Seurat developed Pointillism, where, rejecting broad brushstrokes of mixed color, he instead applied tiny "points" of pure color to his canvas, relying upon the observer's eye to mix the colors. The result was extraordinary, but the method, painstaking. This scene, with over forty figures and their surroundings, took the artist almost two years to complete, during which he refused to lunch with close friends lest they distract him from his work. Today it remains his best-known masterpiece and a monument to dedication.
