My new glass mountain series “ICEBERG” was exhibited in Interior Design Show Toronto 2018. Ice themed interior design object has four glacial color variations that can be arrayed into a landscape like installations. I wanted the ice peaks to have multiple surface textures that also create interesting optic illusions and reflections. I believe that the shadow of the object is important when the medium used is glass. When the natural light is gleaming trough the glass, shadow looks like water.
My exhibition was a part of juried Designboom Mart Pavillion that highlights new and fresh innovations in design. I’m so happy that the exhibition was also picked as one of the five must sees by Toronto Guardian! The article was such a great help for reaching design folks and companies from Toronto area! I also had a opportunity to meet lovely Corinne Cécilia who wrote an article in Maison & Demeure! It is wonderful how many people remembered the article and come to say hi and see the icebergs! Article on the Finnish Embassy’s webpages was also such a great way to reach out to local Finnish community. I was feeling so welcomed and luckily took enough Fazerin Sininen chocolates for all the Finns!
The trip to Toronto was full of new interesting connections and great design! My absolute favourite at the show was amazing concrete planter by VAKO design. It was a great example of a fresh design idea with a modern twist!
I’m also so happy to see how the local people appreciated the design philosophy behind the ice mountains! Many visitors also saw a connection between the icebergs and the Group of seven landscape paintings. As the mountains found new homes I really felt that the combination of new shapes and colors was a success.
Did you miss your own Iceberg? It is now also possible to order them to Canada via message.
