NowHere Finland and environmentally friendly design

NowHere Finland 2012 focuses on environmentally friendly design – and on concrete products, works, acts and concepts. In environmentally friendly design products are designed to have minimal impact on the environment. The design process takes into account the entire product life cycle, from the extraction of raw materials to product disposal. The exhibition was juried by designer Harri Koskinen, Professor Pirjo Kääriäinen, graphic designer Timo Berry and Regional Artist for Design, Paula Susitaival. Design works and creations from a total of 47 designers, companies or groups were selected for the exhibition.28.1.-13.5.2012 Finnish Craft Museum, Jyväskylä, 15.6.-26.8.2012 Savonlinna Regional Museum,  4.-22.9.2012 Lahti Sibelius house and Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas, Madrid, Spain 19.10.2012 – 20.1.2013

Our service design team: Satu Miettinen, Taina Kontio, Reetta Kerola and Manar Ameli are part of this project with an environmetally friendly act, service design workshop for sustainable service concepts.
