Post by KASTHALL

Thank you to everyone who joined Kasthall and Vaarnii this morning at 3daysofdesign for a thoughtful conversation on expertise, focus, and the value of specialization in an increasingly multidisciplinary world. It was a pleasure to hear Jay Osgerby and Philippe Malouin share their perspectives, together with Antti Hirvonen, CEO of Vaarnii, and Mirkku Kullberg, CEO of Kasthall. The discussion explored how deep expertise, craftsmanship, and a clear point of view continue to shape meaningful and enduring design. The conversation took place at the Vaarnii & Kasthall Café at Den Frie Udstillingsbygning, part of the DESIGN/DIALOGUE exhibition curated by Ark Journal. Bringing together Vaarnii’s brutal pine furniture and Kasthall’s precision-woven rugs, the space offers an opportunity to experience Nordic design through materiality, craftsmanship, and dialogue. Tomorrow, June 11 at 9:00 AM, the conversation continues with "Taking the Long View". Designer Edward Barber and Design Within Reach Creative Director Omar Nobil will join Antti Hirvonen and Mirkku Kullberg to discuss a familiar question: What does it really mean to design for longevity, and do we ever truly achieve it?
