This catalogue published by the Design Museum presents Kukkapuro’s main works. Yrjö Kukkapuro is one of Finland’s most important and prolific furniture designers. All Finns have sat, either wittingly or unwittingly, in a chair designed by him, either in an office, auditorium, theatre or church, or a metro station bench. His pieces are about the harmony of functionality, form, and material. In this book he describes the basis and development of his work in design, and Professor Pekka Korvenmaa provides an analytical overview of Kukkapuro’s oeuvre.
