How did Cityvarasto solve Uudenmaan Viva Oy's storage challenge?

When a company's own storage space runs out, you need a solution fast. Uudenmaan Viva Oy found one at Cityvarasto's Metsälä location in Helsinki — just five minutes from their own office.

In brief:

  • Uudenmaan Viva Oy needed more storage space for staging furniture, textiles, and small decorative items

  • Cityvarasto's Metsälä location offered space for items of different sizes — all under one roof

  • You can drive directly into the storage facility — loading and unloading takes place indoors, whatever the weather

  • Cityvarasto provided a solution for three separate storage needs in one place

Why did Viva's own storage space no longer suffice?

Uudenmaan Viva Oy is a Helsinki-based interior design and home staging company whose services had been growing in demand. Staging work requires a large volume of furniture, textiles, and decorative items — entire living rooms, dining sets, lighting, and rugs. When their own storage capacity ran out, moving items through multiple doors and lifts to a car park had become unmanageable.

"Apartments are furnished and staged like real homes — we bring in a complete living room setup, dining tables, chairs, lighting, textiles, and rugs. Our own storage capacity was no longer enough," says Kaisa Järvinen, interior designer and stager at Viva.

What did Cityvarasto offer Viva?

Cityvarasto's Metsälä location in Helsinki provided Viva with three separate storage spaces — for furniture, textiles, and small decorative items — all under one roof. Järvinen says the solution matched their needs exactly.

"We needed separate spaces for furniture, textiles, and small decorative items. Cityvarasto had all of these to offer us. They have responded to our needs very well," Järvinen says.

Why does being able to drive inside make all the difference?

One of Cityvarasto's practical advantages is that you can drive directly into the storage facility. There's no need to carry a sofa or dining table through a car park — loading and unloading takes place indoors, whatever the weather.

"We can drive right inside Cityvarasto. Loading and unloading can be done indoors, which is really wonderful when it's sleeting or pouring with rain. We have a lot of interior items, so this makes everyone's job easier," Järvinen says.
