In 1932, Giedion invited Aalto to contribute to the design of a collection for Wohnbedarf, putting into production the convertible sofa that was exhibited in 1932 in Stuttgart, and later at the 1935 Universal Expo in Brussels. Alvar Aalto’s sofa bed is on show at the Sala Turca at Como’s Ridotto del Teatro Sociale: the AA1, designed by Finnish master in 1932, currently in the catalogue of MisuraEmme, based in Mariano Comense (Como), is a piece that not just comes from afar, it harks back to Aalto’s meeting with Walter Gropius, László Moholy-Nagy and Siegfried Giedion in 1929, at the second Congrès internationaux d’architecture moderne, in Frankfurt, on the Existenzminimum.
