    This issue marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of the world-famous Finnish designer, Kaj Franck.
    Kaj Franck (1911-1989) was one of the leading figures of Finnish design and an influential figure in design and applied arts between 1940 and 1980. Born in Vyborg, Kaj Franck is described as the conscience of Finnish design. He removed everything excessive in his designs, leaving only the essentials. Kaj Franck has been awarded a large number of Finnish and international awards and prizes and his work has been displayed at a range of design museums around the world. Some of his most famous objects are the Teema tableware and the glass series Kartio.
    The simplified profiles on the reverse side portray the most famous forms of Kaj Franck’s production. The obverse side depicts the signature of Kaj Franck in the same simple spirit.
