Yrjö Kukkapuro and Kimmo Pyykkö, chair 'Sculpture chair' manufactured by Joros Oy 2011 for Modern Historic 1900.

The furniture selected for the Modern Historic 1900-collection is an ensemble from a number of famous, iconic pieces by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, Jean Sibelius, Aulis Blomstedt, Oiva Kallio, Kimmo Kaivanno, Timo Sarpaneva, Kimmo Pyykö, Yrjö Kukkapuro, Eero Aarnio.
Some of the furniture had been left out of larger production because they would have been too difficult to produce in larger volumes during the time they were originally designed.
The implementation of Timo Sarpaneva's pipe furniture’s mass production was perceived challenging, whereas the production of acrylic chairs by sculptor and jeweler Björn Weckström was considered down right impossible.
The prototype of Eero Aarnio's Champion- chair disappeared on its way to the United States, where its wider production was to begin.
The “Veistos”- chair (Sculpture in eng.) originated from collaboration with Yrjö Kukkapuro and sculptor Kimmo Pyykö. Pyykkö, known for his scrap and aluminum works, found a chair designed by Kukkapuro in a scrap yard and casted it as part of his piece. The steel chair has a relief depicting a sculpture.
Architect Aulis Blomstedt's “Kvartti” – chair (Quartet in eng.) is based on the Canon 60 -measurement system he developed, which aimed to base the modular system on body measurements so that different sized versions of the modules would be achievable by using the easiest calculation formulas.
Each of these iconic objects has its own stunning story.
