Helsinki Design Week 2013

Last week we had the great opportunity to enjoy a great display of design and art in Helsinki.
At the beautiful old warehouse  in Katajanokka was set a fantastic sample of what is now going on in the design world, Scandinavian and also European.
Workshops were also running during the weekend, and non stop activities for adults and kids .
Some of the brands that we could enjoy were, Marimekko, Iittala, Hays, Pelago bikes, Muuto and many more.
Hope that events like this would happen more often!

Revive Finland

Last Tuesday I had the pleasure of participating and collaborate in a great project that is been rooted in Helsinki, aiming the progress and the cultural invest of a community in Colombia.
The project is called Revive Finland, a non-profit organisation brought alive by Hanna Rentola, Carolina Estrella and William Rivera.
This project has count with the great collaboration of  Eva and Manu, Tommy Lindgren, Emma Salokoski, guitarist Jarmo Saari, accordion player Niko Kumpuvaara , Felix Zenger  and the group Pop up. Giving a Concert at Nosturi, Helsinki to collect money for the cause.
Estacion Caribe is a group of young musicians who grew up in the middle of the violence in the heart of Moravia, a slum in Medellín, Colombia. They are a model of strength and joy, qualities needed to overcome the devastation left by the conflict. And is the roll model that Revive Finland wants to give to all the youngsters in Colombia. No violence, no drugs, only Music!
Great project, isn´t it?
