Ilmari Tapiovaara
Yrjö Ilmari Tapiovaara (September 7, 1914 – January 31, 1999) was a Finnish designer noted for his furnishings and textiles.
== Education and work ==
In 1937 he graduated in interior design and in the following year worked for Asko. He would count Alvar Aalto as a strong influence. In World War II, Tapiovaara designed dugouts and field furniture to the Finnish Army, a challenging task given that only local wood and simple tools could be used, and no nails or screws were available. His own work gained attention for the Domus chairs. These came about while working with his wife at the Domus Academica from 1946 to 1947. The couple established their own office in 1951. In the following year he taught design at the Illinois Institute of Technology. After this he would do work in Paraguay and Mauritius on behalf of a United Nations development program. Further in 1959 he received the Order of the Lion of Finland's "Pro-Finlandia medal."〔(Finnish design site (Dead link, June 27th, 2014) )〕 He did much of his work for universities, schools, and also did a "Root Table" for the Finnish army.〔(Art in Review, The New York Times )〕 Furniture designs based on his sketches continued to be produced into the twenty-first century.〔(Pittsburgh Post-Gazette )〕
