As a result, the Design Museum in Helsinki is dedicating an extensive exhibition to this national ‘heroine’ who with her brightly coloured flowers and pop look was able to revolutionise the interiors of Finnish homes in the 1950s and 1960s. Over 500 fabrics with different prints and a rich collection of photographs, the exhibition (that runs for another two months) illustrates the life of this Finnish artist who died in 2001. E.S.
