O: this wooden one is, I bought it in Milan at some point. And then I
admired this woodwork, how perfect it is and so forth, but now it’s
bit of a dust collector. But once it’s found its right place, then it’s nice.
But it doesn’t have a function. (Olavi 04 120-123)
An uncomfortable camping chair, waiting for its new location or owner (P 190).
HP: then here’s this sort of camping or safari chair.
O: yes. That’s the same thing, I should get rid of it. That’s to say, I don’t

it’s not an impossible idea to sell something that even our children
don’t care for at all. Like those Kaj Franck bowls, like that one [in the
photo] that appears to be a Kaj Franck bowl and (pause) I must have
it packed away somewhere, I don’t even know precisely where it is, I
haven’t bothered to take them out since they were put away. (Hannele

Another example of to-do design is a practical comfort chair with a funny colour,
waiting to be upholstered (P 193).
L: well that colour is one that you’d not (pause) but the eye got accustomed
to it, so that I actually like the colour now. When you think
