The four Finnish designers have a strong personal style with a proven track record that demonstrates their design expertise. Each of the designers, selected by a jury composed of Elina Aalto, Krista Kosonen and Saara Renvall of Imu Design and Laura Sarvilinna, Creative Director of Habitare, will have their own stand at Habitare Talentshop in September 2019. Talentshop is part of The Block, an area devoted to new design at Habitare.

“Now being held for the fifth time, Habitare’s Talentshop annually presents the most exciting, up-and-coming Finnish designers whom audiences in Finland and around the world should be following. Talentshop highlights designers who are in the early stages of their career, but who have already established their own designer identity and shown proof of their skills. What all the selected designers have in common is originality in their ideas, combined with uncompromising quality and refined implementation”, says Elina Aalto from Imu Design.
