\n\t\u201cI am inspired by the basic elements of life, light and matter,\u201d said Vesmanen. \u201cAs an interior architect and a sailing enthusiast, I wanted to merge experimental Finish furniture design with contemporary technology to echo the fundamental human response to wind and waves. The strongest aesthetic experience\u2014when you feel shivers down your spine\u2014is experienced when the materials, details and atmosphere touch you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"template":"","projects_category":[1165],"projects_line":[1146],"class_list":["post-6946","projects","type-projects","status-publish","hentry","projects_category-himacs","projects_line-himacs"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
