2024 Habitare Talents and Habitare Protos exhibitions
Habitare Talents to highlight emerging names in design
Habitare Talents offers an opportunity for four designers or design teams to showcase their expertise. These emerging designers represent the future of Finnish design in the coming years. The exhibition will feature four designers in the early stages of their careers, each having already established a recognizable designer identity and demonstrated their skills, though they may not be widely known to the general public. The selected designers will have their own separate small stands in The Block area, where they can exhibit several designs.
Habitare Protos to connect product ideas and manufacturers
The Habitare Protos exhibition presents 10-12 new prototypes and product ideas. The exhibition, which reflects new design trends, opens up a view into our future world of objects. Product ideas include new interpretations of classic types of furniture, insightful small products, and solutions for home furnishing challenges.
In the exhibition, young generation designers have the opportunity to test the appeal of their product ideas to potential manufacturers and future buyers. The aim is to discover and present great product ideas and to help young designers and manufacturers connect with each other.
