Yrjö Kukkapuro is one of the great modernists in Finnish furniture design. His biography takes the reader from Vyborg in the 1930s down the decades to the 21st century.
Most Finns have sat on one of his chairs at some point, whether in a health centre, school, auditorium, metro carriage, theatre, library or office.
This is the story of the man behind the chairs, the creative buzz in his profession, and surrounding social change.
The Blue Door is written by Isa Kukkapuro-Enbom and available in three languages at Finnish Design Shop, browse here.
