"It wasn't going to be the first time I have cut and stabbed into a collection of textile heirlooms, but this was the first time it was not my own family's belongings."The everyday, if very design-friendly, domestic setting includes Bjringer's Michel Ducaroy-designed Togo sofa"If we don't use our archives, what's the point? All those untouched boxes in the attic."Meanwhile, Kajsa Willner's Craft Punk Vases and Sara Szyber's Reclaim armchairs in the living room are both made from reclaimed waste wood.Images by Jennifer Hahn unless otherwise stated"Do we really need more lamps or vases?"

Jennifer HahnThe idea of the exhibition was to display pieces that "you will never see again""Usually, you as journalists and other people who come here, you see a lot of contemporary design," said CKR co-founder Eero Koivisto. "So we thought, wouldn't it be nice to see 35-40 pieces that you will never see again?"The exhibition runs until 29 March"These projects will probably be sold to people around the world. So this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see them all in one room."Find out more on Dezeen Events Guide Images by Jennifer Hahn2.30pm amadou you know about me?Over the past few years, a slew of materials companies have used highly engineered, complicated processes to coax mycelium and bacterial cellulose into something resembling leather."Something resembling leather", made from a material called amadouFinnish designer Mari Koppanen has gone in the opposite direction and looked to the past for answers which she found in amadou, a suede-like material derived from tinder fungus that has been used to make clothes and hats for hundreds of years.Mari Koppanen's Kp exhibition is on show at the Nordiska Museet"In the small mountain village of Corund in Romania, which used to have the largest community of amadou artisans, only a few people now still have the skills to work with the material," Koppanen said.Amadou has been used for design objects from bowls to seats to lamps. Images by Jennifer HahnHer Kp exhibition at Nordiska Museet hopes to revive the craft by adapting it to create a range of modern design objects ranging from bowls and mushroom-shaped seats to lamps made from a composite of amadou offcuts that resembles cork and is held together by natural cellulose glue.
