He is perhaps best known for his coffee pots and his interior design work. ==Biography== Antti Nurmesniemi's work includes enamel coffee pots and furniture such as the Jakkara sauna stool, as well as interior design work. He has been referred to as the "Grand Old Man of Finnish Design", and he won the Lunning Prize in 1959. He was married to textile designer Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi, known for her striped designs for Marimekko.〔 Nurmesniemi was involved in the modernist design of the Palace Hotel from 1951-1953〔Aav, Marianne.

''Vuokko Nurmesniemi'', page 296.〕 with Olli Borg and Olavi Hänninen.〔 Eero Aarnio worked for him for a short time,〔(Eero Aarnio ) Dwell October 2007〕 and they are credited together in at least one source for the Ball Chair design in the 1960s.〔(Helsinki ): A Cultural and Literary History By Neil Kent page 145〕 Mary Quant put the chair in her Bond Street store known for mod fashions.
