Welcome to the monthly reading list of Design Stories, the online magazine of Finnish Design Shop. In March, we invite you to make use of Hanni Koroma’s decoration tips, discover Finlandia Hall’s temporary venue Little Finlandia, take a look at Karin Widnäs’ charming Fiskars home, get inspired by Maija Rasila’s showroom favourites, and discover design classics perfect for the springtime, Arabia's vintage flowerpots.

Hanni Koroma is known as an interior architect who can design spaces in which old and new are delicately interwoven. Design Stories went to her for advice on how to make your home cozier and more functional.

While Finlandia Hall is undergoing comprehensive refurbishments, Little Finlandia, a pavilion-like building supported by sturdy pines, will serve as a temporary venue. Design Stories interviewed architect Jaakko Torvinen, who came up with the idea for the wooden building for an Aalto University student competition.

Ceramic artist Karin Widnäs loves the feel of clay between her fingers and gives a physical form to images conjured up in her mind. When she dreams, she dreams big. Often these dreams come true – like her atelier home in Fiskars and, more recently, the KWUM ceramics museum next door.

Every month, Finnish Design Shop’s Showroom Manager Maija Rasila and her team pick the showroom’s most interesting products and interior decoration trends. In March, favorites from the new exhibition are in the spotlight.

Designed by Richard Lindh, the timelessly beautiful ceramic flowerpots by Arabia are sought-after vintage treasures, and also well-suited for your houseplants.
