Antti Nurmesniemi was a Finnish designer and one of the pioneers of industrial design in Finland. He studied interior and furniture design at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, and worked at Stockmann’s design office while still a student. In 1951, he joined the office of the renowned Finnish architect Viljo Revell. Revell’s office won the competition for Hotel Palace, where Nurmesniemi was responsible for the interior design of the sauna section. During this period, he designed one of his best-known works, the Sauna Stool.
In 1953, he married Vuokko Nurmesniemi, who was active at MARIMEKKO, and in 1956 established his own studio, Studio Nurmesniemi. His practice extended across a wide range of fields, from product design such as the Wärtsilä coffee pot, first presented at an ARTEK exhibition with Vuokko in 1957, and Fujitsu telephones, to the design of Helsinki Metro rolling stock and power transmission pylons. He was also active as Chairman of the Finnish Design Association, and worked in public architecture, teaching, and education.
In 1959, he received the Lunning Prize, one of the most prestigious awards for Nordic designers. He also won the Grand Prix in the exhibition design category at the Milan Triennale in 1960 and 1964, among many other honors.
