F is for...

Finnish design.

Work these days has been about all things Marimekko inspired, so rather than blog about other recent "F" things (like how Coachella was F-ing great), this seemed like much more the debonair route, indeed.

To kick it off, here's Company, a design duo hailing from Finland.

First thing's first, their site is brilliantly understated, kicking it old school much in the same stream as French design prolificateurs M/M Paris. But today isn't about them (though another day, it ought to be). Today, it is about Aamu Song and Johan Olin, and when they put their heads together to inject a little auringonpaiste into everything from graphics to enviro design.


Talk about functional design. Seat in the skirt is awesome. And those father – daughter shoes... sweet.
