Habitare Materials & Objects Milan

Habitare Materials

Habitare Materials is Habitare’s experiential and inspiring material exhibition. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore and try out material combinations for their projects and purchases. Material collage is easily captured and shareable on personal social media channels. Information about the manufacturers’ products can be easily obtained from the back of the material samples.

Habitare Objects

The Habitare Objects exhibition will take place in the same space as Habitare Materials, as part of the concept. The exhibition presents a curated selection of top Finnish design products, ranging from furniture to lighting, highlighting them in a contemporary and engaging way.

Maria Klemetti Laine and Jussi Laine of NEMO Architects curate the Habitare Materials exhibition and design the exhibition architecture for the entire showcase.

“Habitare Materials & Objects highlights ethical and ecologically sustainable, Finnish design and material solutions. It is important, especially in the midst of the current economic uncertainty, that Habitare offers companies an opportunity to participate in a high-quality international exhibition”, say Maria Klemetti Laine and Jussi Laine.

Habitare Objects curated by Habitare’s Creative Lead Päivi Helander

This year in Milan, we are combining the stunning Habitare Materials exhibition with Finnish design products, ranging from furniture to lighting. Alongside the materials library, the new Habitare Objects exhibition will be introduced. The curation is managed by Habitare’s creative lead, Päivi Helander.

“By staging a joint exhibition, we can help more companies and designers to showcase their work in a major international arena, as it can be difficult for individual designers to get an exhibition slot in Milan. The collaboration enhances the exhibition, producing great encounters and adding an interesting dynamic”, says the creative lead at Habitare and the curator of Objects, Päivi Helander.
