Gunnar Haimi founded his eponymous furniture company - Haimi Oy - in Finland in 1943, focussing on exceptionally well-upholstered furniture typical of the Finnish aesthetic established by Marta Blomstedt and others.

In the 1960s however, a distinctly modernist style was developed under the guidance of lead designer Yrjö Kukkapuro, with the introduction of materials like fibreglass, metal and leather.
