Helsinki Design week 2013
After two less fourtunate events at the Helsinki Design week, a non excisting fashion show(my fellow exchange students and I could not find it at least) and a guided tour of the Finlandia hall in Finnish (they guides were kind and did some English sum ups but it felt like we missed out on a lot of interesting facts about this Alvar Aalto designed building), the Design market was a success! It was super inspireing to be surrounded by a bunch of creative souls and their work of art.
I especially liked some jewellry made from colored pencils. Fun idea! Besides collecting ideas for future design projects and birthday cards I purchased some cool gifts and a pair of earings for myself. If I was not a student and had my own appartment (where I would be staying indefinitely) I could easialy bought more than quite a few pices of neat furniture.
