Aalto University's Wood Studio's future visions of Finland's most valuable wood are presented at the Finnish Forest Museum Lusto
Wood Studio's group of international young designers have given curly birch a new lease of life – by planning and making 26 pieces of furniture and objects that combine craftsmanship, art, digital design, and a fresh perspective on wood design. The result is a modern, bold and surprising collection – a glimpse into what design looks like now and in the future.
The exhibition is the result of extensive collaboration, with the involvement of Finland’s leading curly birch experts and professionals: the Finnish Forest Museum Lusto, Aalto University, the Natural Resources Institute Finland, Pro Puu Association, the Craft Museum of Finland, and the Curly Birch Society.
Wood Studio focuses on promoting the use of wood as part of the interior architecture major at Aalto University's Department of Architecture, headed by Mikko Paakkanen and Karola Sahi.
