Hi all,

By looking for something else, I found the official UN report documenting the mission of Arne Vodder in Bosnia for three months in 1975.

Turns out that he mostly did a consultancy job and did not really designed anything for Sipad. I also discovered that Ole Gjerlov-Knudsen participated to the project.

Very interesting read!

But Vodder was not the only one and Ilmari Tapiovaara also visited Sipad in Bosnia (3 visits between 1975 and 1979). Seems like unlike Vodder, Tapiovaara did actually design some furniture. Here is the report of his first visit with some furniture design toward the end of the document.

Great, thanks! I was always wondering what he did there.
