TypoCraft Helsinki

14/09/2019

Lokal, 23.8. – 29.9.2019 &
Erottaja2 until 15.9.

The theme of this years TypoCraftHelsinki is “Kauno”, or “Joint Writing”. We have invited graphic artists, designers, craftspeople and artists to design artworks or products that take Kauno as their starting point. We want to see ideas which combine the theme – freely interpreted – and typography in a new way with the material and form, and in which typography expands from two dimensions to at least three.

Eeva Sivula & Timo Ripatti
Well Done (2019)

The 2-piece artwork is inspired by our experiences and precious memories of what it was like to learn to write back in the early 70’s. The theme of note book lines ties these artworks together.
Interactive artwork: The audience is invited to practice joint writing and in the end of the exercise award one- selves with the ’well-done’ stamps.
The artwork on the wall celebrates the note book lines.
Eeva Sivula is a graphic designer and art director. She is one of the founders of Helsinki based Dog Design creative studio. She works widely in graphic design field and feels joy every time when involved in more artistic projects.
Timo Ripatti: I have been educated both as an architect and
a furniture designer. Nowadays my studio is working in smaller scale in the fields of lighting design, furniture design and product design with clients across Europe. More artistic projects like TypoCraftHelsinki bring an inspiring addition to my everyday work.

Vuoden Huiput Exhibition by Grafia at Habitare

Muotoilun Kultahuippu TypoCraftHelsingille!

"Arvostimme ideaa orgaanisesta ja alati muuttuvasta verkostosta, joka tuo suunnittelijat yhteen ja parantaa typografiatietoisuutta. Typografiassa ei ole kyse vain välineestä tai taiteesta, vaan myös ihmisistä ja kädentaidoista sen takana. Tämä on alusta, joka yhdistää tekijät tyypin ytimeen."

Kiitos Grafia - visuaalisen viestinnän suunnittelijoiden järjestö, Suomen Kulttuurirahasto, Taiteen edistämiskeskus - Taike
