The year 2014 marks the centenary of the birth of designer Ilmari Tapiovaara (1914 – 1999). In honour of this event, Designmuseum staged a major exhibition of his work featuring both furniture and sketches from archive collections that have not been displayed previously. The book Ilmari Tapiovaara – Life and Design published in connection with the exhibition. Originally trained as an interior architect, Ilmari Tapiovaara followed an extensive career in design. He was the artistic director of a furniture factory, a teacher, an expert serving in development cooperation and the head of his own design office, among other work. Tapiovaara was a charismatic speaker and skilled writer with a public presence as a spokesman for modern professional design. The Ilmari Tapiovaara centenary exhibition presented one of Finland’s most significant designers in broad perspective. The numerous sketches, items of furniture, interior designs and personal items on show lead the viewer through Ilmari Tapiovaara’s life, presenting his development from an internationally oriented student to a prolific and responsible designer of the post-war years of reconstruction. His work is considered in particular from the perspective of the social responsibility of the designer. The exhibition also noted the significance of his wife and colleague, interior architect Annikki Tapiovaara as an important background figure.

This book presents a selection of drawings by the architect Steffensen taken from his extensive collection of sketchbooks. His characteristic drawings from unusual places and surroundings hold something dramatic, his continuous attempts to understand where the fascination lies, he uses the freedom to crop, simplify, dramatise and compose in order to capture what is essential - all of which drawing makes possible. The rough, edged concrete of a wartime bunker in contrast with the surrounding landscape, the basic brick wall or the rusted steel of the high blast furnaces. A presence both in form and material, however, the drawings also tell the story of what is not immediately visible. About the passing of time and of the former presence and activity of people. The aim of this book is to inspire the reader to draw - to convey the enthusiasm - the euphoria experienced in the work itself.
