ENG Habitare and in particular the Trash Design exhibition is one of Recyclie's favorite things to do in September. At this year's Habitare, I especially enjoyed the May Day competition entries in which the designers had devised and implemented ideas for structures and objects needed at a summer picnic or day trip.
It was wonderful to see how the small exhibition-goers brought each shortlisted canopy to life! In addition, I spotted five chairs and five lamps made of recycled materials.
FIN Habitare ja etenkin sen Trash Design -näyttely on Recyclien lempipuuhia syyskuussa. Tänä vuonna nautin erityisesti May Day -kilpailutöistä, joissa suunnittelijat olivat kehitelleet ja toteuttaneet ajatuksia kesäisellä huviretkellä tai piknikillä tarvittavista rakenteista ja esineistä. – Oli ihanaa seurata, kuinka pienet messuvieraat saivat näyttelyhallissa jokaisen loppukilpailuun valitun ehdotuksen elämään! Lisäksi bongasin viisi kierrätysistuinta ja -valaisinta.

"Havina" by Samuli Helavuo was inspired by the sound of warm summer winds and the swish of leaves in the trees.

I went to Habitare with my Mom, and she thought this seat (actually a combination of an Artek classic and a small pallet) looked like something coming out of a Finnish sauna...
