#6: Culture Bridge – Japan Meets Finland. A Collaboration in Design and Nature

Japan and Finland may seem worlds apart, but they share a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, nature, and slow living. In this episode, we explore the unexpected cultural similarities between these two countries, from their design principles to their mindful lifestyles.

We also introduce our collaboration with Finnish artists Marianne Huotari and Samuli Helavuo, whose designs beautifully blend Japanese and Nordic aesthetics. Plus, we share simple ways you can incorporate these philosophies into your everyday life for a little extra peace and inspiration. Come join us on our journey.
