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!

Grythyttan Stålmöbler is one of Sweden’s oldest furniture manufacturers, with a long tradition of craftsmanship and Scandinavian design. For more than a century, the furniture has been handcrafted in Grythyttan using carefully selected wood and spring steel. This unique combination makes the chairs and tables exceptionally durable and weather-resistant, designed to last for generations. The characteristic gentle rocking motion of the chairs is created by the carefully shaped spring steel frame—a detail that still requires skilled craftsmanship. During 3daysofdesign, Grythyttan Stålmöbler presents Bovik, a new addition that reflects its heritage while introducing a contemporary expression to outdoor living.
