During Stockholm Creative Edition Lokal will be showcasing spring-themed gems by some of their favourite makers and visionaries; Antrei Hartikainen, Milla Vaahtera and Hanna-Kaisa Korolainen, all representing a new generation of what they consider to be future icons within Finnish art, craft and design.

Antrei Hartikainen is a woodworker and artist, creating his pieces both out of wood, by means of varied fine techniques, as well as unique glassware lending its visual language from wood. Milla Vaahtera is an exceptional glassblower, metalworker and all-around artist; her glass and brass pieces embody both aesthetic perfection as well as flamboyant play. Hanna-Kaisa Korolainen  is a multidisciplinary artist, with her mediums varying from tufted rya textiles and painted silks to vases in hand-built ceramic and glass. Päivi Keski-Pomppu’s jewellery is like wearable art; true handcrafted gems in mostly sterling silver.

Lokal is a Helsinki-based concept gallery bringing forth Finnish artwork and craftsmanship. Culturally, a close relationship to nature shapes our way of thinking and our understanding of natural materials and their value. To value timeless beauty, sustainable design and most importantly, to nurture real community, are the things at the forefront of Lokal’s activity. Their regularly changing curated exhibitions host a wide array of works by local artists, visionaries, makers and masters.
