.yatofu on its own Motif Show at habitare 2024 Artistic workshop Yatofu was actually invited to design and also co-curate the Motif Exhibition for Habitare 2024, an annual fair held in Helsinki throughout its own style full week. Every year, Habitare chooses a style to assist the celebration, picking Layers for this most up-to-date plan, which took place in between September 11th as well as 15th. Yatofu unpacked the concept of layers through revealing the several sizes embedded within style and fine art accounts– coming from type and colour to components, looks, durations, as well as methods.
The exhibit looked for to give a clean standpoint on Finnish layout, which, as Yatofu co-founder Angel Lindahl tells designboom, is actually ‘undergoing relatively of a renaissance, as internationalization arrived in Finland a bit later than a few other nations.’ This reimagining of the nation’s design scene comes via by highlighting the center values that describe it, uncovering the covert dimensions responsible for a curated assortment of neighborhood creatives and their works, and also showcasing the stories, techniques, and influences responsible for their intention. designboom spoke to Angela who strolled our company via the team’s curatorial approach, the improvement of Finnish design, and also her take on durability. graphic u00a9 Aleksi Tikkala making use of layers to check out a new take on finnish concept Collaborating in the curation of the Habitare exhibition along with Pu00e4ivi Helander, the celebration’s artistic supervisor, the crew at Yatofu highlighted designers and also functions embeded in Finnish design worths while representing an extensive scope of experiences, thereby challenging the minimal meanings typically connected with Finnish style.
‘Nowadays, we satisfy plenty of developers and also artists drawn to the market values responsible for Finnish style but come from myriad histories and also experiences. Their analysis of Finnish lifestyle and layout market values provide a new take on the same market values that have actually encouraged the famous Greats of recent. Our team really wanted the Layers Exhibition to provide a platform for these point of views, showcasing the works of a range of modern professionals who identify as Finnish,’ continues Angela Lindahl.
picture u00a9 Aleksi Tikkala Yatofu actually converted the 2024 motif via a tall and big primary framework that highlights and reveals its building frameworks rather than conceals them along with surface area components. These frameworks were emphasized in a vivid lime green, with translucent components and cutouts, permitting visitors to experience a layered viewpoint of the area. Resembling a cloth lantern, the main structure was expounded outward via translucent textile, casting a cozy radiance throughout the event, ‘which gives a sense of relief from the typically cluttered and also frustrating fair atmosphere,’ she adds.
image u00a9 Aleksi Tikkala Component choices were actually purposefully made to reinforce the principle of showing levels ‘ by means of the method of producing the products on their own,’ Angela details. The show tunnel, clad in carbonized lumber from Hiil, showcased the business’s unique carbonizing method, along with timber boards finished in an incline from entirely carbonized to greatly brushed, uncovering the lumber’s original different colors. Yatofu’s concept options also concentrated on the immortality of materials.
The carbonized hardwood boards are going to be reused in future exhibits, the uniform vinyl fabric floor coming from Tarkett are going to be recycled, the main construct woven with Svensson cloths will definitely be repurposed, the Durat tabletop will be actually 100% reused after usage, as well as the rustic paving blocks from Wienerberger will definitely be actually repurposed, recycled, or marketed after dismantling. photo u00a9 Henri Vogt ‘ We would like to make certain that the exhibiting artists and also product sponsors involved in the show mirror the story our company are attempting to inform. That layout is not just about plain looks, however somewhat a collection of tales and methods interweaved with each other to form the final result,’ she informs designboom.
In between reprocessing, repurposing, as well as reusing, Yatofu is actually also switching the narrative of lasting style methods. As Angela discussed to our team, the top priority listed here was to make use of materials with an afterlife, using a straightforward as well as direct answer to refuse, carbon footprint, as well as much more. While she does admit that their option isn’t ideal, the workshop is actually finding ‘much more emerging brands who concentrate the core of their company on the market values of sustainability.
It is a joint effort without a doubt.’ photo u00a9 designboom yatofu illuminates the exhibitors’ stories and also intents Going along with the physical Habitare exhibition is a series of videos inside the major structure, including 4 engaging developers as well as performers, each one portraying their personal ideas and also market values. ‘It makes it possible for website visitors to decrease in the busy setting as well as re-center their attention to the absolute most vital part of fine art and layout: the tales and also purposes responsible for the items on screen,’ Angela includes. The initial video clip records designer Lennart Engel’s material investigation into the lifecycle of Finnish spa stones.
