From mydeco.com:

Award-winning designer Harri Koskinen will curate an exhibition taking place in London at CHELSEA Space this September and October.

Due to run alongside the London Design Festival, Into the Woods will show off designer homewares made by Finnish design company iittala.

Famed for its glass products in particular, the century-old Scandinavian group has given full control to Koskinen to create the exhibition, which will run from September 16th to October 17th.

‘He has a sure appreciation of Scandinavian design - understanding the quiet, simple, subtle and traditional techniques used to create some of the most interesting and lasting designs,’ iittalia said of the designer.

Over the course of his career, Koskinen has created iconic products for a number of leading manufacturers and has worked with the likes of Altia, Arabia, Design House Stockholm, Panasonic and Swarovski.

In 2004, he received the Compasso d’Oro Award - a highly regarded Italian design prize - for his Muu chair, which was designed for Montina.

Event details: Ryijy Rug! Description Ryijy Rug! 5.6.2009 - 27.9.2009

Location: Design Museum, Helsinki

The ryijy rug is an integral part of Finnish identity. Originally a long-piled substitute for furs used as covers in boats and sleighs, it has become a beloved art textile enhancing the special events and everyday lives of Finns. This exhibition will present the Finnish ryijy rug from old woven folk textiles to the latest contemporary works of art. Telling the story of the ryijy rug, this exhibition will glow with the colours of Finnish nature.

/////// puredata workshop /////// Puredata (a.k.a. pd) is a graphical programming enviroment dedicated to real-time video and sound processing, and any kind of data (from sensors, controllers, to motors, electronics boards…). Puredata allows you to build your own logical circuits and tools in an easy way : instead of typing lines of codes, you just have to link differents objects in a plumber-style. Puredata is radically open-source. This means that even the most advanced software made with puredata can be opened like an old teenager moped, and then studied or copied to combinate it with another piece of program. (more…)
