Marimekko

Recently, "El maletero" was commenting on how nice and expensive Marimekko clothes are. This week we visited Marimekko's warehouse. The atmosphere is more relaxed than in the official shops and you can get some stuff at 30% off.
Hai poco El Maletero comentaba lo prestoses y cares que son les coses de Marimekko. Esta semana pasamos pel almacén de Marimekko. L'ambiente ye más relaxáu que nes tiendes oficiales y pueden pillase algunes coses con un 30% de descuentu.

Thinglink.com

Long time since I last blogged about design stuff. Some feedback with el maletero de la viajera set the mood for this. Surely Finnish design lovers will be interested in the beta of thinglink.com. A web platform where designers can upload their catalogs and these can be commented by the visitors to the site.

Había tiempu que nun subía nada de diseñu. Un contactu reciente con el maletero de la viajera animome a ello. A los que-yos guste'l diseñu Finés gustará-yos el beta thinglink.com. Una plataforma na rede onde los diseñadores suben los sos catálogos y los visitantes al sitiu pueden dexar los sos comentarios.

Les silles d'Eero Aarnio

Continuing with Calatrava's building in Uvieo... Despite the dull interior it was fun to see that in front of every hall in the shopping mall there were chairs of known designers. At least, we noticed a couple of models of the Finnish designer Eero Aarnio. The famous ball-chairs are already full of graffities. See all here
Siguiendo col tema del edificiu de Calatrava. Aunque l'interior dexa que desear, sorprendionos que punxieran silles de diseñadores famosos ente les tiendes. Llamáronnos la atención dos modelos del diseñador Finés Eero Aarnio. Les sus famoses silles bola yá tan llenes de pintaes. Más fotos equí

Makkaramies

I saw this animation at the movie theatre when I went to see the last Indiana Jones film. I laughed my arse off. Is for a campaign to prevent skin cancer. To my surprise, it turns out that I know some of the people involved. It was made by the graphic design company Cloud9 (loistavaa Jani!). If you live in Finland the ad is even funnier, grilling this kind of sausages (till they explode) goes together with sauna and summer (and beer of course)
