 Living Details: Esa VesmanenOn Thursday 10 September, interior architect Esa Vesmanen (Pure Design Oy) will open his Living Details exhibition at Design Forum Finland in Helsinki.The exhibits combine modern, Nordic minimalist design with natural, living details, such as water, fire and even music. Living Details includes new LED lamps, tables made of recycled plastics and divans for cooling off. "I construct the environment from the basic elements of life, light and matter," says Esa Vesmanen. "I want to arouse feelings by combining the modern and the time-honoured tradition with enduring materials. The strongest aesthetic experience - when you feel shivers down your spine - comes from the interaction when details, materials and space touch you. I feel it is the task of designers to experiment and take risks. That is the only way to create new ideas and products needed by society. There has to be daring. As a sailing enthusiast, I could say that a boat is safe when it is in the harbour, but that's not what it was made for," notes Esa Vesmanen. Esa Vesmanen wants to lead the visitors to the exhibition to view and experience the environment in new ways. event (ended) current design events more Living Details: Esa Vesmanen design directory Design Forum Finland > Design Organizations added by Levent OZLER |
