Finnish design duo Aamu Song and Johan Olin of Company were comissioned to create art work for a residential building ‘Pariisintorni’ in Toukoranta, a new housing area in Helsinki.
‘Kaide-Taide’ (Art-Handling) bends the railings of this 8 storey high building into new shapes. These shapes provide places to sit and lean and opens up new views from the stairwell.
Railings are painted in a different tone of grey in each floor creating a gradient from 1st floor dark grey to white in 8th floor.’
