Welcome to the monthly reading list of Design Stories, the online magazine of Finnish Design Shop. In September, we invite you on a virtual tour to Säynätsalo Town Hall designed by Alvar Aalto, Joan Miró's studio in Mallorca, 3 Days of Design in Copenhagen and an art lover's home in Helsinki. We also introduce the lovely Väre collection Marianne Huotari has designed for the National Museum of Finland.

Säynätsalo Town Hall was built in the early 1950s to serve as a town hall for a municipal of only 3,000 residents. Today, the building is open to visitors and offers guest rooms for an overnight stay.

3 Days of Design 2021

The 3 Days of Design was arranged in September in Copenhagen and took over the showrooms with interesting events and novelties of the upcoming season. Finnish Design Shop's team was around of course – take a look at this autumn's favorite new products!

HOMES

Modern art and 60s atmosphere

A black-and-white home in Helsinki, following the architectural style of the 1960s, is the ideal location for a colorful collection of contemporary art. In Tuuli Kousa's mind, art makes a space into a home.

DESIGN

Väre celebrates Finnish history and folklore

Marianne Huotari's stunning Väre pattern was created for the National Museum of Finland. The organically flowing print, depicting an ancient forest, is like a modern interpretation of the museum's famous frescoes.

ARCHITECTURE

Studio like a work of art itself

Internationally celebrated Catalan artist Joan Miró is known for his surrealist works, long career spanning over seven decades and breathtaking studio designed by architect Josep Lluís Sert. Taller Sert is a must for anyone visiting Palma de Mallorca in the Balearic Islands.
