His career coincided in time with the best part of the postwar modern movement and together with names including Alvar Aalto, Bruno Mathsson, Arne Jacobsen and Poul Kjaerholm he was at the core of a generation designers who made the concept "Scandinavian Modern" famous all over the world.
The most well-known design of Yngve Ekström's extensive portfolio is the Lamino armchair from 1956, which is still manufactured and sold all over the world. In 1999 the Lamino was voted the "Twentieth Century's Best Swedish Furniture Design" by the Swedish interior magazine Sköna Hem.

Blueprint Award for Best Product at 100% Design 2006

September 22, 2006

The LOG Collection by Naoto Fukasawa has been voted Best Product at 100% Design in London by a panel of judges which consisted of architects and designers including Deyan Sudjic, new director of the Design Museum.

The collection consists of two hollow benches of different lengths, a stool and an upright storage table. Naoto Fukasawa´s designs are often inspired by nature and in this instance a fallen tree is the inspiration. "The tree falls and breaks into three pieces (represented by the benches) - only the stump remains upright - (represented by the storage table)".
