Harri Koskinen to curate London homewares exhibition
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.
