Furniture Programme is an integral part of the Interior Architecture Major of the Department of Architecture at Aalto University in Finland. On top of spatial design studies, with experimental courses on both BA and MA levels, and outstanding workshop facilities, students explore hands–on the diverse creative and conceptual approaches to furniture and product design practice.

INSIDE—OUT can refer to blurring the boundary between interior and outdoor space, as well as to the in–depth nature of the design process. The exhibition presents the work of a group of young, international furniture designers currently studying at Aalto University in Finland. While diverse in material, form and function, all works share a common ground in their thoughtful, versatile design, adaptable to different environments and contexts. Suspended within a structured grid, each piece stands alone yet remains in dialogue with its immediate neighbours. Designed from the inside out, every work evolves from a conceptual clarity, shaping its final expression and spatial presence. Come and discover their work!

Trained as an architect, Finn Juhl approached furniture as an artistic discipline rather than a purely functional task. His work challenged established ideas of construction and use, introducing sculptural forms and a clear sense of proportion that helped shape Danish modernism. For more than two decades, House of Finn Juhl has held the exclusive rights to revive and produce Finn Juhl’s furniture designs, working to preserve the intent and principles behind his work—an approach that continues to resonate across generations.
