Llmari Tapiovaara
Finnish designer llmari Tapiovaara was always seeking new solutions to improve everyday objects. He was revered as a master of characteristic and human objects who captured the essence of Finnish identity. Ilmari Tapiovaara was awarded a total of six gold medals at the Milan Triennials as well as many other important awards throughout his long career. In 1937, he graduated in interior design and in the following year worked for Asko. He would count Alvar Aalto as a strong influence, wanting to create products based on the same ideological premises of social equality of functionalism. He felt that architecture was the starting point of his design work. His own work gained attention for the Domus chairs, which came about while working with his wife at the Domus Academy in 1946.
Artek was founded in 1935 by four young idealists, Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen and Nils-Gustav Hahl. The business idea of the company was "sell furniture and to promote a modern culture of habitation by exhibitions and other educational means." The founders of Artek advocated a new kind of environment for everyday life. They believed in a grand synthesis of the arts and wanted to make a difference in town planning as well as architecture and design.
