Man, search engines really are completely useless at tracking down like 99% of industrial design history, especially for smaller countries.
So many commonly used industry terms just aren't searchable, any specific commercial products from different eras even less so.
Honestly if you want any specifics about say, industrial pattern design in Finland between 1960-1995, your only hope is to stumble upon a specific ass museum with a budged counted in pennies and let them shower you with all the available info on earth.
The thing is, no commercial mill is concerned with public archives. There is no incentive to make public records about who did what when. Archives are useless if they're not maintained and organized.
Just, the scope of things in this world that are unknowable unless you have right access is staggering to me. We need to stop pretending that all there is to know about everything is online. You don't even know what you don't know!
