毕乐卡·斯丹露丝(Pirkko Stenros)

      毕乐卡·斯丹露丝(Pirkko Stenros，1928一)这位女设计大师，在现代家具?设计史中占据着无法替代的地位，她最早从事模数制板式家具设计，也是最重要的儿童系列家具的创始者之一。她的设计哲学是非常独特的，同时，在其漫长的设计生涯中，她主持了上百项公共建筑的室内设计和家具系列设计。

      斯丹露丝1951年毕业于赫尔辛基艺术设计大学室内与家具设计系。她的第一件作品就是她的毕业创作：儿童系列家具。她的设计特别强调对儿童创造性的启发，并能适合于儿童的成长，即同一套家具能适用于不同年龄段的儿童。她同时非常注意儿童家具的美感设计，以及对儿童的早期综合教育起到积极作用。最关键的是，她的设计注重使用上的方便和清洁，因为战后的芬兰女性大都参加工作，很难花上更多的时间料理家务。斯丹露丝的儿童家具早已成为20世纪家具的经典，对以后的同类家具产生了广泛的指导性影响。

     斯丹露丝对现代家具设计的另一贡献就是对现代模数制家具的研究开发。她的设计适用于各种不同的场合，尤其深受家庭的喜爱。对于家用模数制板式家具，斯丹露丝的出发点是床的设计，用她的话来说，芬兰人多年来已经被席梦丝睡坏了腰，因此需要适意的床以获得健康的睡眠。她早年设计的大多数系列产品至今仍在生产中。穆拉密家具公司(Muurame)是专门生产斯丹露丝作品的一家企业，其产品全部用芬兰桦木做原料。

      斯丹露丝是非常典型的精益求精的大师，这一点同阿尔托类似，即在几种主要设计手法基础上不断派生出适合不同场合的家具系列产品。斯丹露丝在50多年设计生涯中多次获奖，同时也多年在母校担任教学工作，是芬兰设计领域最重要的教授之一。

          Interior architect Pirkko Stenros (born 1928) has designed streamlined furniture of a distinctly Finnish appearance for over 40 years and is known for her work with furniture marketed under the Muurame brand. Stenros has gained distinction in developing the visual environment of the home, and she has carried out restorations of churches in addition to designing jewellery and interiors for public spaces. 

         Having begun in the 1950s with a furniture collection for children, Stenros's determined approach has expanded to furniture for adults, storage furniture for homes and public spaces and collections of tables and chairs. Pirkko Stenros has designed whole families of furniture, maintaining a minimized and timeless spirit independent of fashion trends.

         Furniture by Stenros has undergone renewal in a contemporary spirit and in accordance with present-day requirements, for example with the growing need of furniture for personal computers. At the same, however, all the items can be seamlessly combined with the older models. 

          Pirkko Stenros received the State Design Prize in 1969, the Export Prize of the President of Finland in 1987 and the IKEA Prize in 1995. She has participated in the Classic Makers exhibition at Design Forum in 1995 and the Finnish Design 125 Years exhibition in 2000.
