To Kalevala by a rocking chair
April 8th - June 6th 2013

Rocking chairs and wall rugs in a sound landscape

Artist and designer Päivi Mikola is an architect and a interior designer by education. She is the main designer and the art director of her Colmio design firm.

Mikola took a challenge to find a suitable modern form for the beloved traditonal thing, the rocking chair. Rugs used on the rocking chairs directed her to design and make wall rugs by colorful woollen yarn. The modern traditonal Finnish things are companied by an arcaic rune singing music.
