Valon muotoja – Forms of Light exhibitionfeatures experimental light installations and lamps made out of concrete.
Heavy, big, ugly, rough, vague, grey, hard… These are often the first attributes we relate to concrete. The design students from Aalto University’s School of Arts, Design and Architecture are challenging these established conventions of concrete as material by trying to combine concrete and light.
As a result the students showcase experimental lamps and light installations which aim to turn the heavy weight of concrete into light appearance. They tried to turn hard to soft and reveal beauty where we expect to see ugliness. These brave concepts demonstrate that our established conventions can be changed.
Forms of Light exhibition showcases contemporary lamb prototypes made by design students from Aalto University’s School of Arts, Design and Architecture. Prototypes were realized at Product and Form -course organized by Contemporary Design masters program 2021-2022.

This summer Glasshouse Helsinki is proud to present three different exhibitions by fresh talents of Vapaa Taidekoulu and Aalto University at the gallery space on the second floor.
Vapaa Taidekoulu’s group exhibition Puutarha presents garden-related works by school’s second-, third-, and fourth-year students. Vapaa Taidekoulu located in Helsinki offers professional studies in painting.
The garden is full of surprises. Earthworms crumbling under the leaves. Water lizard after rain. A badger who met me.
Ismo Hölttö – Goldsmith of Finnish photography exhibition features Hölttö’s celebrated photos from the 1960s. The iconic Helsinki photos together with powerful portraits taken in the Finnish countryside capture the essence of the social transition and evolution of the 1960s. These images embody the spirit of a nation on the threshold of inevitable change that altered the face of many countries throughout the 19th and 20th centuries: post-war melancholia and sorrowful nostalgia at the loss of agrarian lifestyle, tempered with the optimistic hope of a people transitioning to an urban society.
Join us for a special World Hope Forum Market on November 20, curated by Mirkku Kullberg, WHF Ambassador for Finland and CEO of Glasshouse Helsinki.
An inspiring creative department store that includes artists, artisans and designers sharing stories about their work.
