D W E L L I N G W I T H D E S I G N these pillows I had made, or these textiles, I don’t remember if I saw the textiles myself, I might have had a seamstress who did them, yes. So this [sofa] has changed place around our homes from one place to another but it has always been with us. So one just removes this white cover and you don’t have to iron it, even, but just stretch it over this, so it is, like (pause) awfully practical (laughs). As an interior decorating element. (Hannele 04 226-241) 138 In 2005, the sofa was still in the temporary apartment in which they had been living, but it was on its way home. Hannele is an exceptional person in the sample because she tended to change the interior decoration so much, based on what she happened to like at the time and also according to the seasons. HP: so now that you’re looking at these photographs [taken in 2004], it looks to you that there’s lots of stuff? H: (pause) there is a lot more stuff, yes. Somebody might no doubt think there is very little, but (pause) I’m trying to get to a point that there would be as little as possible. That what there would be, it would have a meaning, or that it would be part of a certain, like, a mood thing, like, now with winter approaching and moving to stronger colours and warmth and such, and then comes summer, then you lighten everything up again and there’s more light and (pause) and it all stands the daylight. Because this sort of winter atmosphere is such that one wants to cuddle up in blankets and of course colours are quite important then. (Hannele 05 226-233) Olavi The carefully designed renovation of apartments can be seen as both a hobby and a means of income for Olavi. HP: do you talk about interior decoration a lot outside of home then? O: yes I do. And then here, in a sense it’s also part of my work, to comment on those things and to do stuff in that area. And it is a pleasing thing to me. I have even felt that I understand something about them, not much, but something, so that, too, it helps that one wants to get things done. If there was a topic about which one understands noth-
ing, it wouldn’t be nice to work on it. But I have found it pleasing. (Olavi 05 571-577) At the time of the interviews, Olavi owned a couple of apartments that he was living in with his wife, and he had renovated and sold several other apartments in the past. The one where we met was a former office that he had had renovated. The result was a loft-like huge living room with a separate kitchen and three smaller rooms that served as a living room and bedrooms. One small room was reserved for dogs and exercise. In 2004, the couple had been living in the apartment for a year and the renovation work had been finished, but the interior decoration of the small rooms was still in progress. In 2005, all of the interior decoration had been finished. The kitchen and living room area were similar and the only visible change was that in 2005 there were still some products awaiting Olavi’s decision about what to do with them. The renovation work meant, for example, that an AV system had been built inside the walls. 3 D E S I G N E N T E R S H O M E 139 O: [in B&O AV-system] everything works together and with one remote control and in all rooms, in the kitchen, everywhere. HP: here you have the speaker cables built-in? O: yeah, those speaker cables, they need to be boxed. When the renovation starts, you have to box them in tubes inside the walls’ lower sections so the cables can be put through because this wireless technology is not yet developed enough that it would do by itself (Olavi 04 57-62) The parquet floor was done several times because the results had not been what they had agreed upon in the contract and they were not what Olavi wanted. The original layout of the apartment was left intact. Indeed, Olavi explained that he often takes the architecture of an apartment and a building’s history as a source of inspiration, and he wants to respect them in his renovation projects. He mentioned that he agrees with architects about the importance of space over interior decoration: O: As the architects say, the space is more important than the interior decoration. Meaning that you can furnish just by the use of space. Not that you then just stuff the space with things, it could even turn rather ugly then. But I really agree that space is more important than interior decoration. (Olavi 05 558-561)
