Living With Art: Anna Pirkola x Lokal

Lokal, together with interior stylist Anna Pirkola, visited the Helsinki home of an architect couple. Based on this encounter, a visual lookbook was created, mixing in artwork and design pieces from Lokal’s archives.

“Whether it’s a unique piece by an acknowledged artist or a creative oeuvre by young talent like my daughters, art is something that makes a home look like you. It brings common furniture to life, and when looking at the artwork it reminds you of that one particular moment it became a part of your home. The best thing is that we all have our own taste, and when falling in love with an art piece it’s really your heart that makes the decision.”

– Anna Pirkola, 2017
