20.2.07 Jari (P 82–84) is a roughly 40-year-old building contractor who lives
with his wife, a nurse, and their three children in a four-room apartment in a
suburban area near Helsinki.
21.2.07 Asta (P 85–87) is a journalist who lives with her physician husband and
two teenage children in a four-room house near Helsinki.
Altogether, I interviewed 17 households. I interviewed 13 of them twice (first
round 2004, second 2005) and 4 of them once: Rea in 2004, the Ylinen family
at the end of 2006 and Asta and Jari in early 2007. With Rea, we were not able
to arrange a second interview; the Ylinens and Jari and Asta were comparison
groups that I recruited precisely because they were not especially interested in
(Modernist) design; in contrast, most households in the sample were interested
in it. Since the complementary interviews did not contradict the previous findings,
I did not recruit additional households.
