The designs in the exhibition cover a broad range of design fields from graphic design to fashion and product design. The exhibition also highlights Helsinki as an innovative design capital of Scandinavia.
The projects included in the curated section of the exhibition are by Noa Bembibre, Fokus Fabrik, Jaana and Päivi Haaksiluoto, Kokoro & Moi, koneHelsinki, Harri Koskinen (Genelec), Yrjö Kukkapuro and Henrik Enbom (Saas Instruments), Janne Kyttänen (Freedom of Creation), Hannu Kähönen (Creadesign), Mikko Laakkonen (Selki-Asema, Covo), Kristiina Lassus (Alessi), Arihiro Miyake, Mikko Paakkanen (Saas Instruments), Pentagon Design (Tikkurila), Provoke Design, Anne Kyyrö Quinn, Anna Ruohonen, Stepan Sarpaneva, and Tonfisk Design.
The HARDCORE exhibition is organized by Design Forum Finland, the Consulate General of Finland in New York and the Finnish Cultural Institute in New York, and presented in collaboration with the Meatpacking District Initiative and Abe NYC, Inc. The exhibition is supported by Alfred Kordelin Foundation, Greater Helsinki Promotion, Finlandia Vodka, the Finnish Tourist Board, Icelandair, Helsinki City Tourist and Convention Bureau, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland, the Ministry of Education in Finland, and the National Council for Design.
