Studio Hanna Whitehead was part of Senseware exhibition during Helsinki design week 2019.

We usually think of aesthetics being something visual, but the origins of the word are in the Greek ‘aisthanomai’, meaning ‘I perceive, feel, sense’.

Set within the Ivana Helsinki House in Marjaniemi – an atmospheric 70s-built former office and home by a local architect, the exhibition explores the relationship between our senses, colours, materials, forms and space. Everything we see, hear, touch, smell and taste impacts our perception, either consciously or subconsciously, allowing us to create associations that ultimately impact our thoughts and behaviour.

Senseware is an exhibition by Studio Parfum: the creative duo Heli Juuti and Jennifer Lipkin.
