Finnish satellite data has been used as inspiration for the Independence Day reception evening dress. Pekka Laurila, the Chief Strategy Officer and Co-founder of Finnish space tech company ICEYE, attended the reception at the Presidential Palace with his spouse Hannah Ploskonka, who also has worked at ICEYE from 2014 to the end of 2021, and is still working for the Finnish space industry.
SAR satellite images by ICEYE from the melting Thwaites Glacier were used as the base for the evening dress "Antarctica" pattern. The pattern was created by Jutta Kuure, the designer and founder of Finnish design company Taiga Colors. The dress design and sewing was done by atelier dressmaker Anna Perez and the jewerly set by Lumoava was designed by Eelis Aleksi Väisänen.
The evening dress project was implemented by Taiga Colors. Suomalaisen Työn Liitto – The Association for Finnish Work has accredited Taiga Colors with the Design from Finland mark in addition to the Key Flag designating Finnish work. Also this evening dress has been made in Finland.

BIOPHILIC DESIGN
Biophilic design brings the nature indoors and into the city. It reduces stress, and lowers blood pressure and heart rate. It can improve our creative performance and increase feelings of tranquility. It has profound effects on our cognitive, psychological and physiological systems.
