Helsinki Airport



It is so great to see a well crafted sculpture.  This laminated plywood and  carved timber wood sculpture is two stories high (8 meters).  It exhibits the Nordic design ethic of natural materials, excellent craftsmanship, rounded forms and warmth. It is titled "Fatmi", which is an air traffic system.  The artist is Martii Aiha.
This wall had beautiful cut out images directing passengers to the next building.
