Within the interior of Maison Louis Carré, Vesmanen and Akira Minagawa—artist, designer, and founder of minä perhonen—integrate the influence of Alvar Aalto into their shared creative dialogue. Minagawa, inspired by Nordic design culture, shares with Esa Vesmanen a deep interest in tactile materials and craft-based techniques. Their design discussions inspired a special edition of Vesmanen’s Finom lighting line, which explores the possibilities of paper-thin plywood, continuing Aalto’s legacy of experimenting with wood’s formal potential.

In tribute to Maison Louis
