Designed by Sistemin and developed in collaboration with Niimaari, the Tyyne product family combines traditional Finnish woodworking, the circular economy, and high-quality acoustics.

Made in Finland, Tyyne is crafted from by-products. The hand-woven surface of the screen is made from leftover oak strips from the interiors of Swan sailboats, and the acoustics are provided by a new generation of acoustic panels made from Finnish wood fiber.

For us, Tyyne is a wonderful example of what happens when Finnish craftsmanship, the reuse of materials, and contemporary design come together.

You can find the Tyyne curtains in the Habitare Choice section at the Niimaari booth, 6n2.

The circular economy and changing approaches to spatial design will also be featured on Wednesday, September 2, at 12:00 p.m. on Habitare’s Main Stage, when Lisa Sund from Sistem will participate in a panel discussion titled “Spatial Design in the Sustainability Transition: The Industry’s Future Outlook and Opportunities.”

We’ve been working on this hotel project for a long time, and it’s wonderful to finally be able to share the news. Original Sokos Hotel Talsinki will open in early 2029 in the new Talsinki neighborhood, right by the sea, the harbor, and the Rotermann neighborhood.

Sistem is responsible for the hotel’s interior design concept and architecture. The hotel’s aesthetic draws inspiration from the layered nature of the surrounding urban landscape, where the old industrial environment and the new city come together seamlessly. At the same time, the interior design combines recognizable elements from the best aspects of Helsinki and Tallinn: design, craftsmanship, and architecture. The end result feels both familiar and new, local and international.

Planning is ongoing, and we look forward to sharing more about the hotel’s spaces, details, and the ideas behind them as we move forward.

Thank you to Sokotel Oy and the entire project team for your trust and wonderful collaboration!

A demanding public work environment, responsibly renovated—Sistem has won SIO’s “Project of the Year 2026” award!

SIO's "Project of the Year 2026" is the Social Insurance Institution of Finland's work and customer service environment in Seinäjoki, designed by Sistem.

In this project, Sistem was responsible for workplace design, customer service development, and comprehensive interior architecture design, ranging from courtyard design to lighting. The starting point was to bring the existing building naturally into the present day—while respecting its architecture and avoiding solutions that felt forced or out of place.

The SIO’s international jury described the project as visionary and timely. Its artistic quality is evident in the timeless and serene atmosphere of the spaces, as well as in the meticulous details. The seamless integration with the original 1970s architecture has allowed the interior design, the building’s structure, scale, and rhythm to support one another seamlessly.

The jury also noted the project’s sustainable design—more than half of the furnishings are recycled and have been thoughtfully integrated into the overall design. Sustainability is evident in the use of the existing structure, the choice of materials, and the long-lasting solutions.

A heartfelt thank you to the jury of the Finnish Association of Interior Architects (SIO) for this prestigious recognition, and to Kela for their trust and bold collaboration. Thank you also to the entire project team—this is truly a shared achievement.

Today we celebrate Alvar and Aino Aalto, as well as Finnish architecture and design!

Aalto’s philosophy lives on in timeless architecture, a people-centered approach, and the courage to try new things. It is a great honor for us to design a project that carries on Aalto’s valuable legacy.
