Finally went to TAIK today, one of the world’s coolest design schools.  The school was a bit empty because the students were still on holiday, but I met couple of cool professions through Viivi, my guide to TAIK, and quite some interesting students’ work.  And I was so impressed by the amazing studios they have, wood, metal, plastic, and of course the film studio, I almost can’t help to get my hands on.  The best way to actually use these fantastic facilities, of course, will be becoming a student here, well, on my schedule book already!

Then I went to this furniture design firm and also shop, Vivero.  They collect nice pieces from young designers and promote them.  The space was not too big but full of great designs.

According to my well-planned schedule, I went to JKMM Architecture and Muotohiomo Design afterwards.  They respectively did the architecture and exhibition design for Finnish Pavilion in Shanghai EXPO.  Both had nice studio and interesting people.  Hope I can have the chance to work with these great people someday.
