About Ilmari Tapiovaara
Ilmari Tapiovaara was a leading figure in Nordic mid-century modern design, celebrated for iconic works such as the Domus chair, Fanett chair, and Lukki series. His philosophy was to design furniture for ordinary people—pieces that balanced functionality, durability, and beauty. Today, Tapiovaara’s furniture is highly sought after by collectors of vintage Scandinavian design worldwide.

The *Hongisto series* is one of Tapiovaara’s less commonly seen creations, making this dining set especially desirable for collectors and design enthusiasts. The combination of chairs and stools offers flexible seating, and the compact square table is ideal for both small and large spaces.

Good vintage condition with natural patina and age-appropriate wear. The wood surfaces show rich character consistent with careful use, adding authenticity and charm to this mid-century original.
