Tillbaka efter två intensiva och välgörande kryssningsdagar till sjöss mellan Stockholm och Helsingfors. Den goda formens främjare mitt i den surrealistiska antidesignen ombord på Viking Lines gamla erfarna Mariella. Kallad Finlandsbåten i Sverige och Sverigebåten i Finland. Nötta heltäckningsmattor och blänkande krom, bingo och dansband i Fun Club , taxfree och barer, blandat med våra PechaKucha, seminarier och underhållning i bästa form av Arja Saijonmaa, Wille Crafoord och Staffan Hellstrand. Solen följde med oss i skärgårdarna intill båda stränderna och det gick att sitta på däck. Alla verkade trivas av denna supersamvaro, ingen kommer att glömma. Finns mycket att berätta, men jag börjar här med att tömma mitt fotoalbum utan bildtexter så länge, så att ni som vill kan plocka fritt.
There is nothing like sailing away out on the open sea, leaving your regular daily routines for just a couple of days, even on a huge cruise ship like the Mariella of Viking Line sailing between Stockholm and Helsinki. We were 170 design cruisers enjoying program on board and at shore in Helsinki World Design Capital. We all felt like having been away for a week during this intensive get-together in all foms. The design world surrounded by anti design. Here are some snap shots. Texts to come later.
