HARDCORE
HARDCORE New Finnish Design (2008) showcased 25 individual design projects and concepts from Finland. The exhibition combined a curated selection of innovative concepts and projects realized by designers and design companies from Finland and a lounge hosted by major the Finnish design companies Iittala, Artek and Marimekko.
The goal was to define the essence of today’s Finnish design. It gave a timely view on Finland's unique design scene through the eyes of the curator of the exhibition, designer Ilkka Suppanen. The exhibition underlined the innovative and slightly extreme nature of Finnish design. The presented work focused on the essence of the specific design problems at hand in their particular context. The designs in the exhibition covered a broad range of design fields from graphic design to fashion and product design.
HARDCORE New Finnish Design was organized in conjunction with Meatpacking District Design ‘08.
