Puhdetyö Exhibition is part of the 2019 Helsinki Design Week festival and will be on display in the main venue Erottaja 2 from September 5-15. Puhdetyö is a group exhibition by six well known designers living and working in Helsinki. The Finnish word puhdetyö refers to the handicraft work that was made after dark when the fields chores were done. In this scenario, puhdetyö has become a collection of objects made free from the constraints of briefs. The designers have used this possibility to explore and experiment and to plunge into their respective interests and passions. These explorations have resulted in a collection of new works ranging from glassware and ceramics to textiles and furniture. Aalto+Aalto will be presenting new designs including Insulae-cabinets, Faro-lights and Luoto candleholders. 'Meet and Greet' - Welcome to the exhibition on Friday September 6th between 17-19 for a 'Meet and Greet' with the designers. Designers: Aalto + Aalto Maija Puoskari Studio Tolvanen Tuukka Tujula Register for the festival pass online and get 50 % off from the entrance ticket by using the code AALTO+AALTO.
