Koe puu! - Touch wood! - puustudion töitä 2000-2012

The shift in ecological thinking towards sustainable development has made wood an increasingly popular material in recent years. To promote and ensure the future of the teaching of wood design, the University of Art and Design Helsinki established its wood studio in 2000. Since then, the studio has achieved an international reputation. This book presents an array of pieces made by students as part of their practical assignments between 2000-2012, from furniture and objects to outdoor structures and experiments with surface and light, plus an overview of exhibitions and awards. Richly illustrated, the book is edited by Karola Sahi and furniture designer Mikko Paakkanen.
