Yrjö Kukkapuro Saturnus Stool in White & Black Leather, Haimi 1970s
About the Item
A modernistic stool from the Saturn (Saturnus) series by one of the most celebrated contemporary Finnish designers Yrjö Kukkapuro, aka The Grand Old Man of Finnish design. The stool is made of strengthened fiberglass painted in white and black natural leather upholstery. It is in it's original condition including the leather upholstery, which has a removable top and can be washed seperately. The stool is produced by Haimi which dates them to the 1960s-70s as later items were made by the succeeding company Avarte. It is in beautiful condition with normal wear consistent with age. Stamped Haimi to bottom.
Born in Vyborg in 1933, Yrjö Kukkapuro has ascended to the pinnacle of international design. Discovered as a young talent during his studies at the Art Institute, Kukkapuro's career spans over 60 years, during which he has designed numerous chairs, many of which are featured in museum collections worldwide. Notable classics still in production include the Ateljee, Remmi, and Moderno series, as well as the iconic Karuselli lounge chair, which began its global journey in 1964. Kukkapuro is also renowned for his office and auditorium chairs, with tens of thousands sold globally. Please note that at the moment we have another chair and stool coming with a slightly rougher patina on the leather.
Kukkapuro's design philosophy revolves around the three E's: ergonomics, aesthetics, and ecology, with sustainable quality at its core. He has been awarded an honorary doctorate and received prestigious accolades such as the Valti Award, the Kaj Franck Design Award, and the Lunning Prize. Today, Kukkapuro continues to work in his studio in Kauniainen. Sadly we just heard today that Yrjö Kukkapuro died yesterday on the 8th of Frbraury 2025. According to his daughter he worked all the way up to the end.
