Karuselli —— 1958 Olli Borg(

·

The idea for the Karuselli chair came in design school Helsinki in Professor Olli Borg’s lecture of physiology (later ergonomics) 1958. After that lecture Yrjö Kukkapuro deciced to design a some kind of full body chair one day.

The Karuselli chair came out as trumps at exhibitions right from the start. After visiting one of Haimi’s stands, the great Gio ponti, founder of Domus design magazine, invited Kukkapuro to take part in his next Eurodomus exhibition, which was held in Genoa in 1966.

”The flagship of the American Line. The sight of the magnifi-cent vessel riding at anchor in the harbour gave us the idea of using a picture of it as our background. The chair was dragged out into the yard and I started photographing it as quickly as I could. The editor of Domus turned up, There it was then, a couple of months later in 1966, on the front cover of Domus.”
