Findings is an experimental furniture design project by two brothers, architect Antti Auvinen and designer Ville Auvinen, that began in 2022. It is a collection of furniture whose starting point has been abandoned materials collected from the brownfield sites of Jätkäsaari and Kruunvuorenranta which are currently under construction.

The project began with no distinct objective, thesis or claim. Instead, the aim was to experiment with what end results and thoughts would arise from the process. When collecting the materials, their final use had not yet been decided. Rather, the furniture evolved through experimentation and improvisation.

The resulting furniture pieces presented are unusual but mostly functional. Found materials were intended to be shown as much as possible in the form in which they were found. New materials have been used with intention and they are presented in contrast to the found materials. A small piece of material history that is disappearing due to the city's expansion is preserved in the furniture.

The project has received support from the Finnish Cultural Foundation.
