The Kitchen Archives explores the beauty of timeless design.

As part of Helsinki Design Week, BLAU, Mendera and Small Town Gossip transform the BLAU
showroom into a curated vintage pop-up shop, where individually designed kitchens and carefully
selected vintage objects and furniture come together to celebrate lasting design.

The Kitchen Archives reflects the essence of a timeless home—one shaped by thoughtfully designed
spaces and objects carefully collected over time.

Discover and shop the curated selection of vintage tableware, furniture and decorative objects —from
small everyday treasures to one-of-a-kind statement pieces.
