The great master of Finnish design, professor Yrjö Kukkapuro, has passed away. His life’s work has left a lasting mark on both domestic and international design. At Modeo, we have had the pleasure of collaborating with him and getting to know him both as a designer and as a person. His legacy lives on in timeless furniture and continues to inspire us.

The Master of Finnish Design turns 90 and the year of celebration starts at the EMMA Espoo Museum of Modern Art.
