Pirkko Stenros designed a modular storage furniture system in the 50's,
the variations, combinations, and extent of which are still matchless
in the whole world. In 2005, we celebrate 50 years of production of the
Moduli range three-drawer set "Kolmonen" – an unequalled accomplishment
for the designer and the company.
Over these fifty years, Kolmonen has lived with us and adapted to many
phenomena in society. The post-war period of shortage and
reconstruction, the youth movement and hippie trend of the 60's and
70's, the yuppie culture of the 80's, and the techno boom of the 90's
have each created their own cultures with their specific ideas of what
is beautiful.
In view of the above, would it be surprising to predict that having
survived all these social changes, Pirkko Stenros's range will also
adapt to future changes, serving us and enriching our lives another 50
years, still in 2055?
This is not possible without a continued dialogue with you, our
customers. Although our basic needs change very slowly, we constantly
need new applications designed for today's needs. That is why we do not
concentrate on planning or mulling over the year 2055; instead, we
offer you contemporary furniture here and now. The products launched
now in 2005 can, of course, be varied, combined, and extended so that
their service time will be exceptional, perhaps as much as 50 years.
