His outhtever so precisely matches the blue and red exterior panels on the street-facing facade ofthe house he but in 1968, as well sa lawn sculpture positioned near the entry He's aliving Gesamtiunstwerk a total work of ar, ‘who lives as he labors, even into his ninth decade. ‘Kukkapuro and his wife, reli, met in Helsinki's Institute of Industsial Ants, were engaged within twa months, and martied in 1936. The couple have adjoin- Ing studios inthe open-plan, 2,150-square-foot struc- ture, which they use as laboratory for a continuous flow of work. A closet area, cordoned off by lively patterned hanging textiles is the de facto foyer for thespace, which features no walls—only mobile bar riers in the form of bookshelves and furniture. And the furnitute is everywhere: arranged in casual seat ing groups, standing at attention in soldierly rows, stored out of reach on top of cabinets, and, piled into commer once occupied by the Kukkapuros’ daughter, Isa, (sa, ina fitof teenage pique, rejected her parents bohemian attitudes and was granted a room of her own near the kitchen. Her parents removed the en closure as soon as she left home, though one can still see the imprint left by the temporary walls in the tex tured polyurethane ceiling} In the 1960s, Kukkapuro says it was “really fash- lonable for architects and artists to liven old facto. ries” in order to inhabit spaces large enough to ac- commodatea live-work lifestyle Since the Finnish capita lacked urban loft space, ei and Irmeli decided na to create their own studio-cum-residence, but closer to nature, The Kukkapuiros obtained the land situated nine miles outside Helsink’ in the wooded suburb of Kauniainen, from Irmeli father. rj acted asthe architect forthe project and worked with closely with engineer Eero Paloheimo to create the basic form.

To save money, they ended up using eight- centimeter-thick, poured-in-place conerete backed with spray-foam insulation. The roof’ graceful parab- ola is so mathematically perfect that no interior col uumns are needed—the lone pole, placed in the center ofthe structure, is used mostly by the Kukkapuros grandchildren for climbing, Even as an industrial design student, Kukkapuro fabricated his own prototypes, and sil lives sur- rounded by in-process models and entries from his, extensive archive “It’s easy to inspect and update one's own works when they're at hand ll the time,” hhe says. Among those visible ates hallmark piece, the Karuselll chair and ottoman from 1964. The seat— a piece offee-form fiberglass sculpture fitted tothe shape ofthe human body and upholstered with a de- lachable leather cushion, al set on top of aswiveling, crossed base—brought Kukkapuro international ac claimand earned him accolades from Terence Conran and Gio Ponti, who featured it on the cover of his mage azine Domus in 1966, Karusell, which means merry go-round” in Finnish, was recently announced asthe?

From that point, body-conscious design became not just an Interest but a crusade, Karuselli' curves inform his entire oeuvre, from the upholstered Ateljee collection (a964) to several office chairs (Plaano, 1974; Fysio, 1976; Siekus, 1981), fo even later experimental seating like Funktus (1991) or Bambu (2002). And like any good modernist, Kukkapuro’s pragmatic design ex: tends to his choice of materials. His early experimen: ‘ation with fiberglass and plastics was driven by two simultaneous interest: free-form sculpture and cut- ting-edge technology. He was heavily affected, however, by the 1973 ol crisis and immediately turned to alter- nate fabrication methods that didn't require petto- eum, like metal and bent plywood. Birch— prevalent in Finland and a material commonly employed by 2oth-century designers—isa highly renewable re- source thats ideal for pressing into sheets of plywood, More recently, Kukkapuro worked on a UNESCO- funded projectin China with the aim of finding mod- ern, industrial applications for bamboo—which, like birch, grows quickly and can be used for furniture as well as fiber. Above all, Kukkapuro touts functionality: the ma terials, the manufacturing process, and the end result should be logical and user-friendly. Accordingly, his design career is inextricably tied to industry. “For design students, the factory isthe best university, he says, "My experience of visiting factories taught me all about practical matters of design. Finnish design is, at present, primarily spread through the global reach of three companies: Arte, Fiskars, and Marimekko. With Artek now manufac- turing and exporting the Karuselichair—and assess- ing which pieces from the designer's catalog to produce next—Kukkapuro's name may soon be recog- nized the world over. Isa Kukkapuro-Enbom, whois, also deeply entrenched in the Finnish design scene and is now helping to manage her father's affairs, says: "believe that his legacy has not evaluated to its full appreciation, He'sone of the last modernists still living. For now, championing that legacy is Kukkapuro's main task.

Text by Kelly Vencill Sanchez Photos by Spencer Lowelldwellings Shortly after they moved to Crestwood Hills, an tenclavein the Santa Monica Mountains, in 2012, Elise Lochnen and Rob Fissmer got an inkling that their new neighbors felt more than jus run-of-the- ‘mill community pride. On their first strolls inthe avea with their newbornson, Max, longtime residents, often stopped them and struck up conversation. They wanted to be sure we understood how special the neighborhood is and how special itis for Max togrow up here” Loehnen recalls. Occupying some 800 acres above Sunset Boulevard In Brentwood, Crestwood Hills is indeed a rarity. The Mutual Housing Association —which four musi cians with a dream of cooperative living founded in 1945—enlisted architects A. Quincy Jones and Whitney Smith and engineer Edgardo Contin to develop a novel yet affordable housing option for middle-class ‘Angelenos. The team conceived 500 modern single- houses in the Santa Monica Mountains, 00 angled sites that would offer canyon and ocean views, Inthe end, only 160 were built, along with a coopera: tive nursery school and community eenter. The post and-beam dwellings were modest, constructed of exposed concrete block, edivood siding, and tongue- and-groove Douglas fir ceilings, but their abundant ‘windows and angled roofline amplified their relation- ship othe outdoors. A1961 fire destroyed about a5of the houses; others were pootly redone or demolished, ‘outright. Today, just 33 remain intact.
