Tapiovaara (1914-1999) was a pioneer in the new design trade. Having a more problematic attitude than his predecessors, and vitally and culturally rooted to his country, he laid the foundations for the development of incipient industrial design through his objects and writings, thus bridging the radicalism of early European rationalism and the realism of post-war objective needs. His work contains crucial elements that arise out of a meticulous, laborious, precise investigation into the quest for perfection, the worship of beauty and the poetics of form. This momographic study included an extensive file of designs, drawings and interior design works by this creator of international scope, placing his work in the contemporary context of Finnish design and industry. This impressive books contains his architecture and design of many different chairs, stackable stools, dining chairs and lounge like chairs in addition to tables and wall units, lighting and interior design. Drawings and elevations included.
