Marimekko – Off to the Woods

My Tuesday morning started in beautiful settings. I had come to Katajanokka to an old warehouse building by the sea to view Marimekko’s newest autumn/winter 2012 interior decoration collection. I was drinking a cup of coffee sitting “in a forest” on a wooden log,  picking up a sandwich from picnic style basket while enjoying the atmosphere; printed fabrics hanging high from the ceiling, crockery scattered around, beautiful  lamps illuminating the darkness and bed linen in voluminous formations. What a perfect place it was to unwind before a busy day ahead!

Comme des Garçons @ Artek

Last night I attended the opening of the Comme des Garçons pocket store at Artek Helsinki. Titled as ‘The Two Towers’ it is an installation of merchandise literally in a form of two towers. Selection includes beautiful wallets, ‘Shirt Forever’ button down shirts, perfumes, t-shirts etc. Event also included the launch of the new CDG perfume and meet&greet with the husband of designer Rei Kawakubo and CEO of the company, Adrian Joffe. Great night and more importantly great to have this concept in Helsinki!
