Graphic Designer of the Year 2024 Exhibition // Juuso Koponen & Jonatan Hildén

The exhibition of award-winning information designers Juuso Koponen and Jonatan Hildén makes the current state of the environmental crisis in Finland visible through diverse visualisations. 

The visualisations, infographics, and texts created by Koponen and Hildén help visitors understand researched information on climate change, biodiversity loss, the use of natural resources, forestry, local nature, and sustainable mobility. Data is also conveyed to visitors through lifting stones. The weight of the stones in the exhibition illustrates the amount of greenhouse gases produced daily by the average Finn and how much these emissions need to be reduced to achieve the carbon neutrality target by 2035.

“Reliable research is widely available, but the technical expression of data and the fragmentation of information can make it difficult to grasp the crisis. We want to make researched information more accessible and, in doing so, encourage concrete actions to mitigate the environmental crisis”, Juuso Koponen explains.
