Ilona Rista - Logistic Center

UNIQUE HANDIWORK
The auditorium was transformed in the mind of the artist into a garden-like rest stop in contrast with the heavy truck traffic and hectic environment of the Mäntsälä Logistic Centre. The artist?s handiwork brings simultaneously strength and sensitivity to the space.

ARTWORK AND ACOUSTIC SOLUTION
A relief is an artwork based on a beautiful, mature and comprehensive vision creating a positive working environment. Acoustic design integrated into the relief fosters achievement of the same goals. Sufficient absorption of background noise and voices by a wooden relief makes an acoustic art wall, where sound can be heard but it is not noisy. It calms the space for the speaker and audience.

EVERY TIME IN A NEW WAY
The Garden relief represents a new way of thinking and technique enabled by computer-aided woodwork. The work combines sustainable development, high value-added and Ilona Ristas imagination. Every time you enter the room you experience it in a new way.

CREATIVE COOPERATION
Ilona Rista is a design artist who is also a connoisseur of materials. Her 30 years of versatile experience with wood and development of acoustic properties of reliefs offers an exciting opportunity for collaboration with interior designers and architects.

Wooden art wall

GARDEN

Designing an artwork that covers an entire wall is an adventure. After getting the mathematic interplay of the figures ready, the artwork is finished with light and shadows: bright light makes hard and sharp shadows - sometimes the shadows get softer or longer. Light can be reflected through branches or sometimes it shines directly.
