Yrjö Kukkapuro is one of the most famous Finnish furniture designers. His studio Ateljee Kukkapuro, built in 1968-69 of concrete, steel and glass, has been the home and workspace of Yrjö and graphic artist Irmeli Kukkapuro for decades. The studio is located in a private grove in Kauniainen, a small town in Helsinki Metropolitan Area. Evoking the architectural charm of the 1960s, the studio has become an international attraction.
