We had the honour of judging the Environmentally friendly design exhibition of NowHereFinland today. Other jurors were designer Harri Koskinen, professor Pirjo Kääriäinen from Aalto University and regional design artist Paula Susitaival.

I think we were quite happy with the best pieces, but man some of those greenwasher-projects made us uncomfortable. And it certainly seems to be hard to really manufacture something ecologically viable instead of doing small-scale handicraft stuff from recycled material. Not that there is anything wrong that. But, somehow, we missed the out-of-the-box-thing. A bit.
