love for Olo-huone second hand & lifestyle

Olo-huone second hand & lifestyle is a new vintage shop + café, located at Fleminginkatu 7, Kallio district. I love the concept - it's the coziest living room I know, and there's also a kitchen (= café) and a bedroom too. With reasonable prices you can have something to take home, whether it be a teapot, vintage chair, AND Sälekori, YCM feather earrings or a bag of freshly ground coffee.

This week we celebrated the opening with smiles and a good, warm atmosphere. And this is how lovely the place is:

Definitely worth visiting!

Helsinki Design Week

About a week ago one of our teachers sent me an e-mail. It was about the raincoat prints we made in the end of last semester. A selection of three printed raincoats was made and it will appear at the HDW Above Exhibition - and two of the selected ones happened to be my designs! I'm really excited about that.

Once I visit the exhibition I will take pictures of my works. The truth is, I really haven't even seen the final prototypes, since they were completed during the summer. At the exhibition, at Old Customs Warehouse, there will be a section for New Arrivals, so more of Metropolia University's young talents' works can be seen there as well.

Go there! It's free!

I got an invite to the opening party - I feel very good about that too. :)

by the way, it's open

upgrade

I decided to give my logo a refreshing touch! The turquoise element is now history and instead there's a small swirl-thingy reaching to the heights. Can also be considered as tentacles... I hope you like the new look. :)

a short glimpse

Some time has passed, but still I have a few pics from the astubutiikkiin.fi launch event.

Poor weather, good spirit!

It was truly a rainy day - luckily we were able to stay indoors. The press gathered together in the Madeby Helsinki -store, but most of the selling tables were in other parts of Bock's house.

At this point these are the only pics I've got... But there are more on my father's camera. Among other guests, several family members of mine came to visit. :)
