SUSI: Designers Heini Riitahuhta and Mikko JarvenpaaThe concepts and works of designers Heini Riitahuhta and Mikko Jarvenpaa come together for the first time in a joint showing at Design Forum.
Entitled SUSI, the exhibition proceeds from themes appealing to both designers, which are presented in a subtle manner through the means of design.
On show are items of furniture and small objects of artistic origin taking up a number of themes concerning all of us - the fear of death, war, violence and fear.
An example is Finnish Chess, addressing the theme of the Finnish civil war of 1918, with red and white pieces battling on shared ground.
As designers Heini Riitahuhta and Mikko Jarvenpaa want their ideas to address consumers and their choices directly.
It is not sustainable development to buy disposable products by the dozen.
The designers see an alternative in well-designed products or works of art expressing the users' own values in a positive manner.
All the products of the SUSI exhibition have been designed upon the terms of production in small editions and the manufacturers are Finnish.
