Pioneer
Angelo Invernizzi
Villa Girasole is still considered unusual, extraordinary and pioneer on sustainable design. You must know such envisioned design, built by its owner, engineer Angelo Invernizzi between 1929 and 1935, in Verona.
As an artificial sunflower, he created his own dream house which would rotate to ”maximize the health properties of the sun by rotating to follow it” and is basically mounted over a revolving system.

Antti Nurmesniemi.
Finnish interior designer Antti Nurmesniemi (1927-2003) is considered one of the pioneers of the Finnish design industry.
The drawing perspective for an interior design appears on Cree Magazine #6, in 1970. But look at (next images) the beautiful environmental art work he created with the power poles in the landscape at the intersection of Ring Road III and Turunväylä in Espoo.
During his career Nurmesniemi created a wide range of products, including pieces of furniture, telephones, kitchenware and even trains. During his architectural practice from 1951 to 1956 was involved on the interior design for Helsinki Palace Hotel, where one of his most famous designs, the sauna stool, became an icon.
Eero Aarnio worked for him for a short time + , both are credited together in at least one source for the Ball Chair design in the 1960s. + He was married with textile designer Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi, known for her striped designs for Marimekko.
