“I am roused by design objects which combine both aesthetics and function. Yrjö Kukkapuro’s works are a prime example of such”, collector Juhani Lemmetti explains. “I have always been interested in designers who keep a low profile. Those who put all their energy onto the product itself, not self-promotion.”
