🌟 Exciting news from one of our portfolio companies, Bob W! They've just unveiled their latest project, Bob W. Kaarti Helsinki, in the heart of our beloved hometown. 🏨✨ Kudos to the entire team (Niko, Sebastian, Emilia, Philip and Co.) and the local partners (KOKO3, Fiskars Group, Innolux, Finarte) in creating a truly astonishing flagship property!
Say hello to our newest property and showcase of our design credentials, Bob W. Kaarti Helsinki 🏨🌟 Bob W partnered with the local award-winning design studio KOKO3 to bring the vibrant spirit of Helsinki’s Kaartinkaupunki neighborhood to life at Bob W Kaarti. 🎨✨ This fully renovated property with 55 studios, penthouse, social kitchen, co-working space, meeting room and sauna (OBV!) is housed in the iconic former Hotel Rivoli Jardin, blends classic charm with modern, artistic flair—think "classy lady rocking swanky sneakers." 👟💃 Every property Bob develops has a design concept built around it's neighbourhood to deliver a sustainable, local community driven design - Kaarti is no exception. From locally sourced ceramic work from Kaisu Kaplin, premium beds by Matri, to hand-drawn artwork by Helsinki-based Diana Cerrada, every detail is thoughtfully crafted to celebrate local heritage, surrounding community and sustainability. 🌱💚 We’ve restored original 1980s features while adding fresh touches, including custom rugs, up-cycled furniture, and eco-friendly lighting. Big thanks to our local 🇫🇮 designers, artists, artisans, brands & partners; Mari Relander, Kaisu Kaplin, Finarte, Annala Oy , Niimaar Circular Design, Fannik, Fiskars Group, Saas Instruments Oy, Innolux Design, Lepo Product Oy, Slättö, Ilkka Salminen and many more :) 📸 bobw.co / Riikka Kantinkoski
