Description
Many of Yrjö Kukkapuro’s product series have come about in collaboration with architects. The A500 series, too, was originally created as part of the design process for a Swedish hospital. The architect wanted a seating series to enliven the milieu, one that would combine ergonomics, ease of use and the possibility of livening up the surroundings with colours. The A500 product family was born at the end of the postmodern period in 1985. The A509 rocking chair was added to the series after the birth of a grandchild in 1986, at the wish of Kukkapuro’s wife Irmeli to have a rocking chair for sitting with the baby.
