In the KOE (Finnish for “experiment”, but also “experience!”) kitchen, Esa Vesmanen examined the interaction between people and nature. He transformed the tap into a fountain, the stove into an open fire, and the kitchen hood into a floating cloud filter. His vertical Maa garden is a screen and a source to store fresh food.
Introduced in 2005 in the Sauma exhibition in Washington DC, the KOE kitchen has since then been exhibited around the world – Durat, Franke Finland, Järvikylä mansion, Selki-Asema and WB-Sails contributed to the project.
