One of this man's designs was inspired by a pair of leather breeches and was first created using an array of wooden dowels stuck in the ground. Another of his creations contains a dining hall partly illuminated by a "moon garden" and was designed on a wave plan to minimize noise from Memorial Drive and maximize views of the Charles River. In addition to the Savoy vase and MIT's Baker House, he designed a cantilevered birch chair angled to provide comfort to tuberculosis patients that is still produced by his furniture company Artek. That chair was created for a sanatorium he designed for the town of Paimio, while his other works include a municipal library in the former Viipuri.
