Daniel Rybakken presents his new collection at the Artek Helsinki store. Two new families of furniture and accessories by Norwegian designer Daniel Rybakken address the question of what it is to be a contemporary Artek product. The Kiila range of storage and seating and the 124° series of mirrors cleverly utilize systems of industrial manufacture in their making and explore the point at which art and technology converge. These new designs articulate key Artek philosophies in a fresh and original design language. The installation will be on view at the Artek Helsinki store on 7.9.-7.10.2017.

Greenness as a Service: Vertical Urban Gardens
We invite architects, urban planners and those inspired by urban greenness. How can green solutions be taken into account in urban planning and construction? Can greenery be produced as a service, and what is the future of urban green services?
The experiment also focused on how vertical gardens can support teaching and learning. The workshop discusses as well how green solutions can support wellbeing and communities. The urban oasis was built in the Kalasatama School yard. The garden attracts insects and prevents flooding.
