Green-minded design company Character gives dismantled signage a second life by replacing the old neon tubes with LEDs, before selling individual letters online as lighting or sculpture. ‘These pieces of typography are all unique design objects. Why should they be demolished?’ says co-founder Aleksi Hautamäki. His business was founded in partnership with another Helsinki-based firm, Armas Design, which also stocks the reformed characters in its three stores.

2017 in review: the year in 100 pictures
At Wallpaper* HQ, we do a lot of forward-thinking. With the year drawing to a close, it’s a rare chance to pause, reflect, and celebrate the people, places and things that have rocked our world over the last year.
