The
winner of Kaj Franck Design Prize 2014 was announced today: he is Harri Koskinen.
Congratulations
and a big hug!
Good
design is not always shouting – sometimes it is whispering.
And
sometimes the work of a designer is like a work by a detective: to find a
solution to a problem. To make something lighter, more wearable, more
efficient, even cheaper. And perhaps more beautiful.
I think
that Harri Koskinen, one of our most famous designers, knows all sides of designing and it´s challenges: along with
his own company Friends of Industry Ltd he is since 2012 also the design director of the
Finnish design brand Iittala.
The
exhibition of his works in Design Museum, Korkeavuorenkatu 23, Helsinki,
is open until January 11th 2015.

(By the
way - this guy may always look austere in photos, but he has a nice sense of humour
and a wonderful smile!)
