Aino Aalto (1894-1949) was a Finnish architect, designer and one of the founders of Artek. Aino Aalto, maiden name Marsio, graduated as an architect in 1920 and began her career in Helsinki working for the architect Oiva Kallio.

In 1924, he moved to work in Alvar Aalto's office. The couple, who got married half a year later, worked a lot together. Aalto's joint projects include the Villa Mairea in Noormarku, the Paimio sanatorium and the restaurant Savoy in Helsinki.

Aino Aalto is especially known as a glass, interior and furniture designer. He was also interested in architecture, photography and many areas of applied art and design.

Aino Aalto was closely involved in Artek's development both as a designer and as CEO. In many ways, Aino has created the foundation for Artek's aesthetics, which combines a modernist clear form with unadorned details.

Aino Aalto, who died before his 55th birthday, left an extensive legacy to Finnish design.
