Everyday Discoveries

One of Helsinki World Design Capital 2012 events is Everyday Discoveries (Arjen aarteet) exhibition in Suvilahti. During Habitare furniture and design fair there was a free non-stop transport between Helsinki Exhibition centre and Suvilahti. 

 The exhibition presented everyday design items from over 20 different countries.

Really interesting joint display of the countries in Kattilahalli.

Besides Kattilahalli display there were separate exhibitions by over 20 countries.

Suvilahti is good venue organizing events like this as there is plenty of space inside and out.

Habitare Furniture, Interior Decoration and Design Fair

Autumn is the peak season for Helsinki Exhibition Centre's fairs, such as Habitare furniture and design fair, Helsinki Book Fair and Beauty Fair.














This weekend I visited Habitare Furniture, Interior Decoration and Design Fair.

It is fascinating to see plenty of new innovative design items.

Vallila Interior stand is always imposing.

 And so was Design House Stockholm.



















Also my favourite dish label Tonfisk Design was present.

Kay Bojensen's Danish wooden figures are so charming.

I think the most interesting was the Trash Hotel.















There were 18 rooms decorated differently with trash as "One man's trash is another man's treasure".

There also was a Aikamatka ie. Timeline through Finnish design during the past decades.

And part of WDCHelsinki2012 events Rocking chairs' design competition. 

At the same time there was Art Helsinki fair of modern art where several galleries were present.

Jani Leinonen is one of the most interesting Finnish artists at the moment.

And after Habitare it was convenient to visit Arjen aarteet ie. Everyday Discoveries exhibition in Suvilahti as there was free non-stop transportation.
