The Finn Yrjö Ilmari Tapiovaara (Tampere, 1914 – Helsinki, 1999) was one of the greatest 20th-century designers and a leading exponent of post-war Scandinavian design. Gifted with extraordinary talent, he became famous for functional furniture such as stackable chairs and furnishings assembled after delivery. His interests were as sweeping as his creativity. In his long career, he worked in woodcarving, graphic design, textile design, distinguishing himself as a teacher, entrepreneur and art director.
