Ciao,
since I have now written about finnish design overall, starting from its foundations leading to the future of finnish design, I would like to introduce to you a prize which is given to a talented young designer/designers yearly, Vuoden nuori muotoilija (the young finnish designer-prize).
The prize is given to a designer, who has shown exceptional, original and high-class expertise in the field of arts and crafts, applied arts, industrial design, grafic design or interior architecture. The purpose of this prize is to inspire young designers to rigorous and original working.
The prize can be given to a person, people or a group, which has/have shown new creative point of view and expertise in the field of design. The amount if the prize is 5 000 euros and it also includes an exhibition in the premises of Design Forum Finland, which is the organization behind this prize. The prize was first introduced in year 2000 and it has been handed out since then almost yearly.
The winners of the prize starting from the year 2000 have been designers Harri Koskinen and Ilkka Suppanen (2000), interioir architect Karola Sahi and architect Eeva Lithovius (2001), designer and carpenter Tuuli Autio and silversmith Pyry Tamminen (2002), graphic designers Antti Hinkula and Teemu Suviala (2005), industrial designer Jukka Korpihete and furniture designer Mikko Paakkanen (2006) and shoe designer Julia Lundsten and designer Janne Kyttänen (2007). I am sure these names are still to be heard of!!!
In my next post I will introduce to you the winners of the year 2008. In the picture above, there is a K-chair designed by the first Vuoden nuori muotoilija-prize winner. Harri Koskinen The chair is available in different colors and sizes. The chair is designed for the company Woodnotes. At the international furniture fair (IMM) in January 2004, k chair was granted an interioir innovation award.
