Sadly a great deal of 'design' was destroyed in the Fifities by Finns who'd had enough of dismal austerity and formal tradition and suddenly wanted colour (hence Marimekko) and lightness.

When the Swedish language daily Hufvudstadsbladet finally refurbished its offices a few years back, a treasure trove of 30's furniture found its way into the backs of vans and cars.
