Huvilainen
Property 1
Annika and Aleksi's Huvilainen is a modern two-story, carbon-neutral stone house. Its solutions aim for climate-friendliness, and the building adapts flexibly to different life situations. The impressive Double Bubble XL outdoor lamp can be found both on terrace and in the garden gazebo.
The sculptural, giant Double Bubble designed for year-round use illuminates effectively while being energy-efficient. Due to its durability, the lamp is perfectly suited for this ecological home.
Talo Hjemma
Property 7
Talo Hjemma is a stylish small house for two adults. Compact and cozy, Hjemma has a slightly Danish design vibe, and thanks to careful material and furniture choices, it feels larger than its size. The Keinu chairs designed by Eero Aarnio invite you to enjoy the atmosphere of the home and relax by the landscape window.
Keinu was designed in 2009, making it one of Eero Aarnio's newer designs - however, the same familiar curve and roundness can be observed in its form language as in the Ball Chair, which propelled the designer's career in the 1960s.
All parts of the chair are manufactured in Finland, and the upholstery is precision craftsmanship made from high-quality leather. In 2022, Keinu chair was updated with materials, replacing the previous chrome frame with a more environmentally friendly, polished stainless steel frame.
The ergonomics and seating comfort of Keinu make it an exceptionally perfect rocking chair. Its original, bold design emphasizes the dialogue of materials and makes it a centerpiece of the decor.
Villa Pesäpuu
Project 15
The two-story Villa Pesäpuu is a modern log home, with a focus on healthy indoor air, ecological construction, and modern smart solutions. In addition to smart lighting, the traditional building material is illuminated by Double Bubble; in this project, the smallest size of our classic lamp, Double Bubble S, as well as the massive Double Bubble XL for indoor use are showcased.
Double Bubble is a Finnish design product dating back to 2002 – Eero Aarnio's first lamp that went into industrial production and immediately became a success. It lightens up homes around the world with its soft glow, thanks to the lamp's unique manufacturing method and material. Discover the story of Double Bubble in our other blog post.
We thank the builders of the Housing Fair for their collaboration and hope that the beautiful homes inspire both fair visitors and design enthusiasts exploring the buildings and interiors virtually in their own plans. A beautiful home is an endless source of joy and energy for its residents 🩷
