Finns are most inspired by nature when decorating their homes, according to a survey commissioned by the Association for Finnish Work. Recycling of materials also provides inspiration, especially for female decorators. Nature is also the inspiration behind the Association for Finnish Work’s KOTI – The Mindscape of the Finnish Home exhibit at the Habitare expo, which has been executed in collaboration with the Association’s member companies.
Only 44 percent of Finns consider the Finnish attitude climate supportive, and as enabling even ambitious goals. This result surfaced in a study commissioned by the Association for Finnish Work.
Almost 90 per cent of Finnish people think that there is a great deal of world-class competence in Finland, but that is not sufficiently known. Finns would like to hear more success stories from Finnish companies. These results emerge from the Made by Finland campaign research survey ordered by the Association for Finnish Work.
Finns believe that Finland’s most important factors of success in the future will be quality education based on equality, nature, clean air, creativity and innovations. The results emerge from the Made by Finland campaign survey commissioned by the Association for Finnish Work.
The Made by Finland campaign, shared between the Association for Finnish Work, its members and partner organizations, calls for all Finns to discuss their own work and to share their stories of Finnish work. The campaign will be launched with an emotional campaign film directed by Klaus Härö.
