In Their Own Words
Interviews with Ari Korolainen
Read the philosophy, the process and the work of Ari Korolainen in the words of the designer.
I graduated as a construction architect in 1984. I used to design single family homes, and I did not have a suitable briefcase for my papers. So I created the first prototype, using recycled cardboard.
