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.

Tempelman was one of the most important Nordic architects in the era of Gustav III, the late 17th and early 18th centuries. He built numerous pavilions at the Drottningholm palace as well as still extant town houses, and this survey builds on previously unpublished Tempelman drawings from the Hermitage in St Petersburg. His work is set against a background of 18th century cultural politics and royal commissions; Tempelman was the first Professor of Architecture in Sweden and as such a key figure in the development of the neoclassical aesthetic in Europe.

This book consists of eight chapters which describe Tessin as an architect, landscape gardener, politician, traveller, collector and writer. A concluding chapter outlines the importance of Tessin for architects and town-planners up until today. John Kimmich’s architectural photographs provide a suite of pictorial interpretations of Tessin’s architecture.
