About the exhibition <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Roundabout Baltic is an international design exhibition presenting objects created in eight countries connected by the coastline of the Baltic Sea. It showcases achievements of designers from the stretch of the Baltic Sea in a broad cultural and visual context. It is a narrative exhibition, a personal narration of the curator, which portrays the visual connection between the designers, their work and the seaside landscape etched into their creative sensitivity through design. The landscape provides the background for the story: dunes, beach and water, vegetation, rocks and submarine life, different times of day and changing seasons. The products and objects crafted by artisans from countries around the Baltic Sea are the cornerstone of the multilayered narration of the project.<\/p>\n

The original exhibition presents works of more than 40 designers from eight countries. On the occasion of Roundabout Baltic opening at the Nordic House, examples of contemporary Icelandic design with inspiration from the sea will be added to the exhibition.<\/p>\n

The exhibition items are not organized by country of origin. Quite the opposite, by concentrating on formal similarities resulting either from local inspirations, choice of material or the production methods, the exhibition shows analogies in the way creators from the Baltic region think; analogies that are more pronounced than cultural, economic or climatic differences between these countries.<\/p>\n

Roundabout Baltic has previously been exhibited at Form\/Design Center in Malm\u00f6 (Sweden) from June 22nd until September 11th 2016, at the Estonian Museum of Applied Arts and Design in Tallinn (Estonia) from October 8th until December 28th 2016, and at the Latvian Museum of Decorative Arts and Design in Riga (Latvia) from January 25th until February 26th.<\/p>\n
