Lahti Students’ Furniture on Display at the Design Station

The latest exhibition at the Design Station in Lahti, venue for the World Design Capital Helsinki 2012, is called Metamorphosis. On display for the next two weeks or so is furniture designed by students of the Lahti Institute of Design.

The hallway chairs on show are the result of an assignment the design students were given last spring: they were to come up with their own design for a hallway chair from bits of recycled furniture from Martela Outlet. All the material used for the chairs, except for the screws and other tiny parts, are recycled. The result is an interesting design in line with the principles of sustainable development.
