Ilmari Tapiovaara
Modernist designer Ilmari Tapiovaara was born in Hämeenlinna, Finland in 1914. He studied interior design and industrial design at the Institute of Industrial Arts in Helsinki and graduated in 1937. While still a student, he worked for Alvar Aalto in Artek's London office (1935- 36). After school, Tapiovaara worked for six months as an assistant in the Paris office of modernist architect Le Corbusier. The following year he became artistic director of Asko Oy, then the largest furniture manufacturer in Finland; he stayed there for three years. From 1941-1951, he was artistic and commercial director of the joinery at Keravan Puuteollisuus. Around that time, he and his wife, Annikki, began taking on interior design projects for clients such as the Domus Academy (1946-47) and the Tech Student Village (1951).
