“PAAVO TYNELL IS ONE OF THE GREAT
FINNISH DESIGNERS, EVEN IF HIS
SOMETIMES DESIGNS
DO NOT ALWAYS FIT TO THE PRAGMATIC
DESIGN CULTURE FOR WHICH FINLAND IS
MOSTLY KNOWN. HIS DECORATIVE FORMS
AND MATERIALS
SPOKE TO AN INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCE,
WHO WOULD NEVER BE INTERESTED IN
TRADITIONAL FINNISH DESIGN.”
