Wonderwater had a pilot project in Beijing Design Week last September. Check out more here.

My design was part of a collaborate light installation, “Lantern Park” in which participated over 50 participants of different artist groups and design schools. The Lantern Park created a light path to Hesperia Park, in between Finlandia House and National Opera.

Lantern is made 90% of recycled material, mainly recycled cord taken from used electronics; (e.g. printers, phones, faxes, mixers, blenders, computers and different kind of cables.) I found material from recycling centers and Sortti-asema recycling stations. I used also 2 pcs used children’s hockey helmet nets and for the light source a led light for outdoor use (with a shield).

Cords that i used were all different shades of white and light greys and there were also at least ten different thicknesses of cords. Lengths varied from 50cm to 10 metres (when i got really lucky- as the longer ones were much easier to crochet with bare hands).

Warm thanks to helpful staff at Konala Sortti-asema!

Wonderwater at Tian Hai pop-up event was held to raise awareness of water footprint and the impact of what we eat. The event took place in a traditional Chinese restaurant Tian Hai in Beijing (in Dashilar area) during the Beijing Design Week from 24 September–2 October 2011.

For the event Tian Hai’s menu was redesigned to show customers how much water goes into producing the ingredients of their dishes.

Wonderwater at Tian Hai was a collaboration of Aalto University and World Design Capital Helsinki 2012 and it was curated by Kari Korkman and Jane Withers. It was one of the first World Design Capital Helsinki 2012 satellite projects and a pilot project for further Wonderwater events.

Kontula is a competition entry for the Habitare Design Competition 2011, which theme was to re-design a traditional Finnish outdoor toilet. It’s a collaboration with Seppo Riiho.

Kontula’s speciality is that it changes it’s character during the daylight changes. Effect is made with an asymmetrical outer grid wall, which enlightens the whole interior during the finnish nightless nights giving also a good shelter from the outsiders. Space is made with using 2″ 5″ asp plank modules. Roof is covered with tin plate and the rainwater is leaded to the window side to protect the wood.
