Design Diary: Finnair’s Fancy First Class Lounge

Last Tuesday I posted photos of Moko Market. Today it’s shots of Finnair’s fancy first class lounge at the Helsinki airport. Sadly, I flew coach (pretty ice blue and green color scheme, but very squished seating), so wasn’t privy to the treats. However the hostess did let me in to take pictures, helping pass my too much time before takeoff. It is seriously cute. I was dying to dig into the salad bar and soup tureens.

ARTmonday: Inge Jacobsen

Using images found in fashion magazines and newspapers, Irish-Danish artist Inge Jacobsen creates textured photo collages by adding embroidery. She sees her technique as a way of linking women’s hobbies from generations ago with hobbies and interests of her own generation. She says, “I can, and have, spent long periods of time reading Vogue magazines just like my grandmother and her sisters spent a long time cross-stitching.”
