Do you still Remember? – A Nostalgic Trip to Finland
Classic everyday objects affect us more than their designs suggest. They summon memories of work, pastime, home and childhood while giving us an image of Finland today.
Surprisingly many traditional products have been passed down through the generations and some have even seen success in the wider world. We cannot know which objects will be in the shop window, museum showcase or on the flea market table tomorrow. They do, however, leave their mark on our collective unconscious.
These photographs and stories about classic, everyday Finnish objects take us to the core of the Finnish way of life and to the author’s own memories. This book reawakens the past, which is still with us today.
