An international group of 16 design students transformed their views of contemporary living in a collection of thought-provoking objects, telling the story of Helsinki Hotel. The group is part of the Masters of Arts program at the University of Art and Design Helsinki (UIAH). They showed their perception of a hotel at the Milan Design Week (18.-23. APRIL 2007). If you missed their milan exhibition nevermind. Helsinki Hotel will re-open on the 4th of May at the Design Museum in Helsinki, being on view until May 27.
"Rise and sigh" by Martina Carpelan is a collection of revealing bed sheets that plays with incidents often taking place in hotels. Different sleeping positions give different imprints on the sleepers’ body. The imprints give you a hint about last night’s atmosphere, suggest you what to do and tell things about you.The Rise and sigh collection consists of three embroidered bed sets; for the bachelor, for the love affair and for the one night stand.
"Everyday Sunday" by Niina Aalto is a plastic cup holder, which customizes a plastic cup for different situations by creating an illusion of authenticity...There're much more interessting designs to discover on Helsinki Hotel's website. There's much more to Helsinki than just hel-looks (which already is pretty cool!).
