The push toward open plan, collaborative offices in recent years has led to a decline in workplace effectiveness, partly due to distracting noise and visual stimulus. Koskela designed the Hoodie™ to specifically deal with this by providing a sight and sound barrier for office workers. This is particularly useful in open plan environments or in Activity Based Workplace fitouts where quiet thinking spaces are needed. Classrooms and libraries in flexible learning environments in schools and universities can also benefit from the Hoodie™. The Hoodie™ Integrated is comprised of an acoustic hood, which is integrated with a desk. Optional add ons such as internal shelves, data boxes and LED lighting are available. More

Mass Produced Individualism The presence of the process. Enthusiasm and play of imagination occur as you handle wet clay. The degree, the purity, the intensity. Clearly something missing so often from the industrially produced ceramics. The problem is not a matter of neither hand or a machine, but of utilizing both. My aim was to find a natural way how handwork and the machine could co-operate and supplement each other’s shortcomings. Creating a simple ceramic form moulded by a machine, afterwards curved by hand into two unique pieces. And the most important, letting it be seen that there has been a real hand involved. To me that means that human error is a quality. The presence of the maker and the enormous admiration to the act of m... More
