The latest projects by Harri Koskinen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Harri Koskinen<\/strong> will present some of his product and interior design projects as a preview and exclusively for Italy. These projects share a significantly sustainable approach and combine simplicity, natural materials and timeless beauty with a special attention to human needs. Among Koskinen<\/strong> ‘s works to be presented in Rome are the new Kuulas tableware line, Iittala x Finnair, the Souffle d’Herm\u00e8s hand-blown glass lamps, the K Chairs & Ottomans by Woodnotes, and the Maja Hotel in Kyoto, a reinterpretation of the classic Japanese capsule hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable and timeless design by Artek<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The talk will also include Artek and its philosophy of sustainability, which is well represented by the iconic Stool 60, designed by Alvar Aalto<\/strong> in 1933. The Finnish company has been producing this iconic design piece for 90 years. Thanks to their simple and intelligent construction, Artek products are immune to fads and preserve their appeal over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artek – Stool 60 Kontrasti special edition – designed by Alvar Aalto <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stool 60 has always had a small footprint: it is produced in Finland with local solid birch wood that is bent to create the characteristic L-shaped legs. All the offcuts from the leg production are used to make the stool\u2019s round seat and fuel the factory. Moreover, as it consists of few pieces, Stool 60 has always been flat-packed, making its transport both economical and ecological. Artek celebrates Stool 60\u2019s anniversary with three special editions: Stool 60 Kontrasti, celebrating the construction of the stool; Stool 60 Loimu, made from a rare birch variety with a flame-like graining; lastly, Stool 60 Villi, in collaboration with Formafantasma, encouraging a wider and more responsible use of Finnish birch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
