On Sunday, 6 September, KAAOSSTUDIO will host a pop-up café where you can enjoy a treat and take a look inside Finland’s first gym for creativity skills. The atelier of late artist Birger Carlstedt is a beautiful and historically significant artist’s home that is now opening to the public for the first time.

Inside, KAAOSSTUDIO has transformed the space into a gym for creativity skills — a place to make, experiment, imagine and think together. Soon, you’ll also be able to access the studio with a monthly membership, just like at a gym.

We need both the space and the capacity to face chaos and uncertainty — not with fear, but with imagination and creativity.

KAAOSSTUDIO operates in Finnish, Swedish and English.

Location and arrival KAAOSSTUDIO / Atelje Carlstedt Itäinen Rantatie 14, Nuottaniemi, Espoo

The venue is easily reached by public transport from Matinkylä metro station (buses 520 and 531) or by bicycle along the Espoo Waterfront Walkway. We kindly ask visitors not to drive onto the property or courtyard, but to leave cars along the road. The atelier is a private residence located on a private road, and we wish to respect the privacy and peace of the family.

KAAOSSTUDIO is a gym for creativity skills — a place where imagination is amplified and mistakes become raw material. KAAOSSTUDIO invites people and companies to explore and build creativity as a critical human capability. The studio brings together individuals and organisations of all kinds. KAAOSSTUDIO emerges at a time when people, organisations and societies are urgently searching for ways to renew, and to find hope. It is a space to face uncertainty not with fear, but with imagination and creativity. For all of us, but especially for young people.
