Habitare Choice to present ideas for a sustainable home and way of living
Next autumn, Habitare Choice will present ideas on how to make your home sustainable and on the importance of, for example, surface materials as part of sustainable living. Habitare, the leading furniture, design and interiors event in the Nordic countries, will be held at the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre from 11 to 15 September 2024.
The Habitare Choice area, to be featured for the second time as part of Habitare, will enable visitors to pick up ideas on how to make responsible choices for all the spaces in their homes. The area, which presents solutions for a more sustainable future, will showcase a wide range of companies operating based on responsible values.
“This year, Habitare Choice will highlight, for example, surface and building materials and will present ideas on how to build a more sustainable home and to make responsible choices. The home can be eco-friendly, starting from the structures”, says the interior stylist Susanna Vento, who curates the area.
Habitare Choice will feature, for example, repurposed demolition waste materials, boards and insulation materials made from wheat straw, natural stones, and environmentally friendly paints. Other items featured will include technology and recyclable furniture.
Throughout the event, the area will offer a programme, including fragrance workshops.
“I believe and have noticed that people are no longer hoarding so much stuff. Instead, people are more into pursuing what is intangible: thrills, experiences, and knowledge. When you learn skills and get an understanding of what goes into making things, your appreciation for each product changes radically. At the same time, you understand how something is created, what it takes to create it, and what the effort is”, says Vento.
The companies participating in Habitare Choice:
Arkivé Atelier I Artek I Bolon I EcoPanel (ent. Olkilevy) I Genelec I Hiil I Jokipiin Pellava I Lapuan Kankurit I Loki I Martela Outlet I Mysoda I OnePan I Pidät I Sees I Spolia I Suomen Luonnonmaalit
