VERSO
Verso is a chair designed for kitchen or living room. Verso is a modern version of a romantic and decorative chair. The main idea was to create a chair with simple design mixed with some sophisticated details.
Verso seat is made of three different kinds of profile pieces. For producing a Verso chair, one 15 mm birch veneer board is used and sawed by using the CNC technique. The pieces are glued together as a comfortable seat. The colour is bright and light and the texture of plywood can be seen in Verso seat.
Designed and made: Liisa Urrila
Materials:
Scale model 1:5 of thin veneer and 3D pictures.

TEHO
Teho is a design project for a health centre in Tampere, Finland. Teho-Hoito Oy was established in 1979 and since 1984 it has been situated in the same place. In the autumn 2008, it was time to create a new visual identity. So the interior of Teho-Hoito was refurbished and new graphic design was made.
The colours of the interior and graphic design are mainly different shades of gray, especially the contrasts between light and dark gray. As small details, seven different bright colours are also used. Each private consultancy room has one wall painted with a bright colour. These bright colours repeat themselves in small paintings in the public area and in some parts of the graphic material.
Black and white photographs about the treatments are important in the interior and graphic design. Mikko Keskinen took the photographs.

A MI VIDA
A mi vida is a concept design about a sophisticated condom package. The target group of the product is young adults and the starting point for the project was Jota Castro´s poem that is written in six different languages. In the beginning the appearance of the final product was unknown and the idea developed during the process. The final product is an idea of a condom package, which is considered to be propriety and different than other condom packages. The project was made as a thesis for the university studies.

MARIAGE
Mariage is a project of graphic design for a wedding. The aim of the project was to make a romantic, personal and fresh layout for all the graphic materials that were needed for the wedding. The layout includes different layers, but the main idea came out of using modified profile pictures about the young couple. The colours are light and sensual but there are some bright colours used as naive figures.
