Introduction to design in #designmuseo, Helsinki

Finnish museum of design sure has a story to tell. A story of not at all cold but still nothern design, the one that is known all over the world for its simplicity and functionality. All the textures and materials tend to be natural: wood, ceramics, paper, clay, glass. #designmuseo is the place where I have learnt about the history and seen the roots of the Finnish art forms.

What I especially like is the way nothern countries treat the light. As it is not plenty of it (in consequence of the geographical position) the light is respected, saved and underlined in every imaginable way. It is done mostly  with the help of the colours.

Here are some of my photographs taken in October 2014.
