Seinajoki Library

Alvar Aalto – Seinajoki, Finland, construction, 1963-1965

The old Seinajoki library designed by Alvar Aalto was built in 1965
The fan shape of the main room of the library is the most striking feature of the building. The light falls through the room's slatted windows and projects beautiful shapes onto the ceiling, walls and shelves. The restored library designed by Aalto was opened in May 2015. The old library was connected to the newly built library via a basement floor. The Aalto information desk is located in the Aalto library.
The Aalto bookcase also contains the largest collection of Aalto glass pieces in the world.
