Tapiovaara spent years in Chicago in the late 1930s working under László Moholy-Nagy at the New Bauhaus, an experience that sharpened his instinct for low-cost, high-function furniture design. His Domus chair of 1946, produced for Helsinki student housing, became one of the defining objects of postwar Scandinavian modernism and went into continuous production for decades.
Finland's collector euro program has consistently honored designers alongside composers and scientists — Tapiovaara was issued the year before the centenary of his birth in 1914.
