If anyone has a design back catalogue that sums up the artistic movements and global economic shifts of the past century, it is Kukkapuro. He qualified as an industrial designer in the 1950s, a golden age in Finnish design thanks to Alvar Aalto, Kaj Franck and the like; he witnessed the plastic revolution of the 1960s, the postmodern rebellion of the 1980s, and the ascent of CNC-cutting technology in the 1990s – and embraced them all. In the 1990s, he saw his production shift to China, and found fame there from the 2000s onwards, reaping the benefits of the digital revolution and the onset of globalisation. Every new decade serves to further his reputation and cement his legacy as one of the grand masters of modern design.
