Design Alonen Design Alonen is on the track of new art
The story of the lights Kari's first private exhibition was in 1984, the focus being on cat sculptures made of slate stone. Kari's stone age developed to a combination of different materials such as stone, glass and light after a round of exhibitions in prisons when he realised there's light inside stone. Even though Kari looks like a criminal, he has never been sentenced to prison. Kari Alonen
