A meeting with interior architect and designer Kard Subbi and her acoustic products: Tipi and the Ribi floor lamp.
Questions for the designer:
• Why acoustic products, and for whom?
• Why flexibility and modularity?
• What makes a product modern and sustainable?
The conversation will be hosted by the beloved Jüri Muttika.
_________________________Kard Subbi’s acoustic products combine sculptural form with acoustic functionality.
• Tipi – an oasis of silence, a primal refuge that muffles sound while maintaining visual connection with the space.
• Ribi floor lamp – a combination of light and acoustics that brings cosiness and reduces echo. Additional feature: a concrete umbrella holder.

At the fair, I share the stage with Loreida Hein - a distinguished designer and long-time collaborator. Together we have carried out numerous joint projects: hosting an interior design TV show, designing offices and learning environments, exhibition stands, as well as art projects and competitions. In a larger team, we also developed the modular furniture series LESS, which is currently on hold while looking for strong production and marketing partners. This time, instead of joint authorship, we will both present our own creations – yet the talk promises to be an engaging dialogue where the ideas and perspectives of two creative personalities intertwine.
