BOLON part of the exhibition Wild at Heart
Wild at Heart is an international exhibition project initiated by the Finnish Institute in Germany, in collaboration with the Finnish Institutes in Hungary, Sweden and Japan. Wild at Heart – A Collection of Modern Finnish Design and Art – curated by designer Tero Kuitunen, offers a look into the exciting world of contemporary Finnish design. This year the exhibition tours in Stockholm, Japan and Helsinki.
The exhibition consists of three stages all with Bolon flooring. Now Copper, Artisan Quartz, Elements Cork and Create Fabrico can be seen in the exhibition among with the eleven designers that move boldly at the intersection of art and design, with wild hearts and open minds.
- BOLON’s color palette was extremely tempting, and the sustainable values as well as having the production in Sweden were important values that I wanted to bring forward in the exhibition. I also chose BOLON because we could re-use the same material in each location, as the exhibition will be shown in five different countries, says Tero Kuitunen.
The exhibition runs between February 5th until the 4th of April at Finnish Institute, Snickarbacken 2-4 in Stockholm.
