Sustainable Design from Finland

october 6—20, 2012

The Sustainable Design from Finland exhibition is part of the event Alla Luce del Nord, which provides a new kind of open arena for the exchange of ideas between designers and artists, Helsinki and Venice, and in a larger scale, between Finland and Italy.
Good design is both functional and pleasing to the eye and touch. Good design is also sustainable in the sense that it stands the test of time and use. Sustainable design is good for both people and the environment.
The Venice exhibition Sustainable Design from Finland is an event in the World Design Capital Helsinki 2012 program. The forty-five works at the exhibition represent the highest quality of Finnish sustainable design, ranging from jewellery to furniture and from bicycles to urban environmental design concepts.

La mostra di Venezia Sustainable Design from Finland è un evento del programma di World Design Capital Helsinki 2012. Le quarantacinque opere presenti alla mostra rappresentano la più alta qualità del design sostenibile finlandese, che va dai gioielli ai mobili e dalle biciclette ai concetti di design ambientale urbano.
