SILO 468: Interactive Light Art for Urban Redevelopment
The city of Helsinki tapped Madrid-based Lighting Design Collective (LDC) to convert a once-used oil silo into an interactive light installation to commemorate Helsinki being the World Design Capital of 2012. To mark such occasion, the silo's walls were perforated with 2,012 holes that display a mesmerizing light show in Helsinki's Kruunuvuorenranta district.

Design Milk was lucky enough to visit textile designer Johanna Gullichsen's shop during Helsinki Design Week and it was most impressive. The Finnish company creates woven fabrics in Gullichsen's signature patterns that you can purchase, but they also turn them into an assortment of bags, pillows, and various kitchen items.
