Markus Räikkönen x Ryokō: A Moment in Motion
Markus Räikkönen moves between worlds, from the football pitch to the frontier of satellite and space technology. Based in Finland, he’s now deeply involved in innovation and design, exploring how technology and creativity can shape the way we live and connect.
He was in Dubai for GITEX, the global technology showcase, when he came across our Ryokō store at Wafi Mall. What began as a casual visit quickly turned into an engaging conversation about travel, design, and the kind of details that make everyday objects meaningful.
Markus picked up the Soho Backpack and a few pairs of our sunglasses, drawn to their simplicity and quiet sense of purpose. We spoke about the parallels between his work and ours, how curiosity and design often go hand in hand. He was genuinely interested to know more about our story and the inspirations that drive us to create what we do.
We shared a few moments, captured some images along the way, natural, effortless, and full of character.
