  • Capsule hotels and sauna – Canton Fair, Phase 2

    The first phase of the Canton Fair is a spectacle of electronics and consumer goods, but the second phase features a truly structural and innovative segment of the built environment. This time, I focused on two fascinating and contrasting trends: the highly efficient capsule home and the timeless, yet constantly evolving sauna. For those familiar with the fair's vast scope, these products were displayed primarily in the Hardware & Tools and Home Appliances sections. It's a treasure trove...

  • Robotics that caught my attention – Canton Fair, Phase I

    The Canton Fair was held for the 138th time in Guangzhou, southern China. This massive trade fair is open for three weeks, and you can find almost everything there—and what is not on display, you can request through online quotes. It is primarily a B2B event intended for importers, wholesalers, and retailers, but you can also buy product samples if something interests you. However, my main goal was to explore the service robotics section.…

  • Are you looking for hard-to-find tools?

    In the autumn of 2024, on my way to the Canton Fair, I met Erkki Kettunen, who was also sourcing products from the fair. A few months later, I finally had the opportunity to visit his warehouse store in Espoo, and I wanted to share the experience with you as well. Beoman has been operating since 1992. The company was founded by Erkki himself, and it offers an impressively wide product range from special screws to both used and brand-new electrical switchboards. Erkki sources products both…

  • Canton Fair, Autumn 2024

    In the autumn of 2024, I took a short trip to the city of Guangzhou in China to attend one of the world's largest international trade events.

    The Canton Fair takes place in Guangzhou, known in Finnish as Canton, in southern China. Guangzhou is the capital of Guangdong province and one of the most densely populated areas in the country.

In the fall of 2024 there were no direct flights, and to my knowledge the situation is the same for the spring of 2025 as well. I flew via Shanghai, including an airport transfer from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) to Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA) and vice versa on the return. I compared...
