The idea of the Clarion x TRE pop-up store is related to HDW’s 2018 theme TRUST. Each product chosen for the store is considered in some way trustworthy and can finish the sentence: “TRUST is…” The products on display can be purchased in the store or ordered to be delivered to the hotel or to your home. There is a store in both the Jätkäsaari and the Helsinki-Vantaa airport hotels, and the stores offer a discount for visitors staying over. The stores are built near the reception desks, and in them design fans can find items by Artek, 24bottle and Guardian of the Baltic Sea.

Memory Popsicles is a participatory exhibition in which people are invited to taste “frozen memories” and re-interpret them in their own way. Each ice cream, beyond the aspect of taste, will contain a secret message written on its stick. This message is the fragment of the original memory the taste is representing. The role of the audience is to match each flavour with its original memory.

KERU is a non-profit open community fridge with the aim of reducing food waste and supporting sustainable food culture.
