Unusual cabins in the heart of Paris
Presentation
Practical information
Pop-up exhibition: how about we stay in Finland tonight?
The 6th of December, 1917, Finland broke free from Russian rule and achieved independence. In 2017, this 100th anniversary will be celebrated worldwide and, in Paris, the Finnish Institute has imagined a temporary installation entrusted to designer Linda Bergroth: KOTI
KOTI -which means home in Finnish- transforms the cultural institute's grand hall into a guesthouse for 100 nights.
By recreating a village of six pine cabins inspired by "aitta," small chalets built for friends and guests around the "mökki," larger chalets, the institute lets us experience Finnish hospitality and the art of living.
Decorated with a carefully curated selection of Finnish designers, each cabin is very cozy. Thoughtful lighting, beautiful textiles, slippers, and robes await us. And throughout the event, interactive content (Koti kino) featuring films, documentaries, and tourist information about Finland is available online via our own tablet, phone, or computer (headphones provided).
In the morning, a traditional breakfast of yogurt, granola, berries, rye bread, and coffee is shared with our one-night neighbors around the large communal table.
Open to the public every day from 1 PM to 6 PM, these cabins will shelter design enthusiasts, lovers of the famous "hygge" (the Scandinavian art of happy living), and the curious seeking unique experiences as night falls.
