The chosen 6


Tapio Anttila, The Furniture Designer of the Year, giving his thank-you speech.

The Finnish Association of Designers Ornamo and The Association of Professional Graphic Designers in Finland Grafia awarded last Tuesday night six Finnish Designers of the Year 2012.
As those opening parties are always more or less a possibility to chat with your friends in a huge crowd seeing only a tiny corner of the exhibition, I found the easiest way to find out about their work through their internet pages. (Do the same, if you cannot visit the exhibition!)
