Helsinki-based Studio Finna comprises Anni Pitkäjävi, Hanna-Kaarina Heikkilä and Sarianna Niskala. Their gorgeous room-set style stand at Satellite included their own work as well as the Keto rug made in collaboration with Tytti Laitakari and glassware made in the Nuutajärvi glassblower village by glassblowing students from Tavastia.
