Interior architecture and design
I am a third-year interior architecture student at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. I have an unquenchable passion for evolving as a designer. I aspire to create something new while pushing my boundaries. Designing allows me to convey emotions and create dreams
Especially when traveling around the world, I have noticed the significant role of enjoying everyday life. It is important to create an environment and atmosphere where the moments of daily life bring joy. I want to impact people’s quality of life through spatial design and design techniques. To create joy - in every day and space. Space and furniture solutions should have meaning. I excel in managing project complexities and scheduling. I quickly adapt to new technologies and consider myself an efficient, innovative, and easily enthusiastic individual.
I am interested in people and their behavior patterns. I want my designs to bring relief, joy, and celebration to people, even in ordinary everyday life. From previous work experiences, I have learned the importance of considering accessibility and user-friendliness. I have worked as an assistant for nearly 5 years for various individuals with physical disabilities.
I have also worked at Red Bull and as a tutor in different educational institutions, where I have had the opportunity to organize events that require planning, courage, and creativity. I do not easily give up; instead, I aim to find solutions to problems.
My greatest sources of inspiration are visual arts, different cultures, moments that have evoked strong emotions, and failures. As a designer, I am fascinated by the interplay of colors and power dynamics. I enjoy pushing boundaries to explore what is too much and when there is balance in a space. As a designer, I want to respect norms but also question and seek alternatives, allowing room for new ideas.
I particularly believe that I have contributions to offer in comprehensive projects that require initiative and collaboration skills. I intend to further develop my skills, especially in the fields of ecological design and technical proficiency.

In the project, a multifunctional built-in furniture was designed for a single-person household’s owned apartment, serving as a space-dividing element. The furniture was required to be made of wood. Detailed drawings and visualizations (Archicad) of the furniture were to be created. The project was carried out as a teamwork by a pair of two individuals, with equal participation in all aspects by both members, Coco Eräkangas being the partner.

Concept
Our concept was built around a sleek and cohesive design language. We began the project with user profiling, which served as the basis for our design.
Our goal was to incorporate multiple functional elements into the built-in furniture: sleeping/resting, workspace, seating, and storage. The built-in furniture is versatile and serves multiple purposes.
We aimed for consistency in materiality on visible

The restaurant plan began with the decision of what we wanted to serve in the restaurant. We ended up with small finger foods/appetizers, all priced at 5 euros, hence the name of the restaurant “Femman pala” (Piece of Five).

We wanted the restaurant to have a relaxed atmosphere with a touch of vintage influence. In our color choices, we took inspiration from famous artists, such as Claude Monet. Our color choices and layout solutions help everyone perceive the space’s shapes and guide customers to navigate the restaurant effortlessly.

We designed a counter for the restaurant that is both accessible and ergonomic for the staff. The counter serves as an eye-catching focal point upon entering. The orange color attracts attention to the counter.
The material used for the counter is Durat, with a shade of bright red-orange.

The task of the project was to design a stand/rack for white paper napkins. The stand should accommodate a minimum of 40 pieces of 165mm x 165mm napkins. The material options were steel or wood, and the maximum dimensions of the product were 300 x 300 x 200 mm.
Course: Furniture Design 1: Loose Furniture
Teacher: Pasi Pänkäläinen
Design Process
The goal was to design a product that effectively combines material, structure, and form in an interesting way, as well as integrate well with napkins. The holder also needed to be easy to use, meaning that refilling it should be problem-free and the napkins should not fall out when carrying the holder.
Concept
The concept draws inspiration from postmodernism and the juxtaposition of old and new design. The three main pillars of the concept are versatility, contrast, and floating/levitating.
I wanted the holder to be usable for more than just napkins. It should also be interesting as a standalone decoration/sculpture. I sought contrast and floating by using opposing shapes. Starting from basic shapes and their interaction, I created a small oval rotating sphere that supports a fairly massive rectangular piece. From certain angles, the rotating piece is invisible.
The lively surface of oak forms a contrast with the glossy rotating piece. The dialogue between these two different pieces is as important as the design itself. The cylindrical rotating piece allows for various variations
Implementation and Workflow
During the project, I worked in the woodworking workshop. I completed basic exercises in woodworking and metalworking at the beginning of the course. Oak was chosen as the material for the napkin holder, and birch for the rotating piece.
I started by planing the wood pieces to an even thickness. Then, I cut the pieces in half and glued them together. This allows the wood to have its characteristic movement and space to expand. Next, I measured and cut the laminated wood to the correct size. The pieces were joined using miter joints and glue.
I turned the rotating piece on the lathe. The surface needed to be sanded several times. Then, I spray-painted the rotating piece and did intermediate sanding. I used a wrench to create texture on the oak piece and applied oil to it. Finally, I glued the rotating piece to the oak piece. I was greatly inspired by and thoroughly enjoyed working in the workshop during the course.
The renovation of the Nuutajärvi Glass Museum -Glow
The assignment was to redesign the Nuutajärvi Glass Museum. My coworker Mikaela and I were responsible for the upstairs area. The goal was to create a traditional yet modern look for the museum, fitting for the glass village founded in 1793. We aimed to provide visitors with a “wow” experience and introduce something new to the village.

Project Description
The Nuutajärvi Glass Museum will unveil its renovated spaces to the public in the summer of 2024. As part of the renovation, the unused attic space of the museum will be transformed into a space for changing exhibitions. The concept for the new exhibition space includes designing a material palette, lobby area, exhibition furniture, and lighting scheme.
In addition to the spatial renovations, the museum will be brought into the present day through various audiovisual solutions, where recorded and sound materials complement the overall museum experience.
Concept
Exhibition Furniture:
The concept for exhibition furniture encompasses modularity, dynamism, surprise, and their arrangement both together and separately. Inspired by skateboarding culture, the shapes and names of the furniture draw from the curved ramps and sharp edges present in that culture.
Audiovisuals:
The audiovisual concept complements the museum experience and interacts with both visitors and artworks. Using both image and sound, the concept brings to life both the artworks and the surrounding space, from exhibitions to restroom facilities. The audiovisual material is inspired by the sounds of glass manufacturing, the landscapes surrounding glass factories in the middle of forests, and the sounds created by using glass objects. Our inspiration comes from the sounds of playing glass harps, the tinkling of crystal glass, and the noises produced by blowing into glass bottles.
