Designers of August-September

design palet

Desing palet –brand was born as a part of my design thesis. My previous education as an artisan left me with a powerful urge to work with my hands, something only strengthened by the skills learned with textile design. My starting point was to design a feel-good collection based on environmental aspects and Finnish nature, with slow living and relaxation as key words. Nature and the myriad surfaces it creates fascinate me, and so the inspiration for the LUMO-collection came from wild Finnish forests, where I go to relax. The soft textile decoration brings the peace of a forest indoors.

LUMO-collection combines the shapes and materials of nature with the fairy-tale-like spirit of a forest. The hand-printed fabrics show both graphic handiwork and the random forms of nature.

As the product of the month I chose the tree trunk –shaped HALKO-pillow, which is an excellent shape for relaxation, no matter whether you like to keep it under your neck, feet, back, or just hold it. It also works as a decoration piece, and has turned out to be a favourite with children for their plays and games. HALKO-pillow is made of strong linen/cotton, and the inner pillow is made in Finland.

From Design Shop Outlet collection, I select a tree plant designed by Jouko Kärkkäinen.
Following the growth can teach us a lot, such as patience and respect for nature. From small seedlings grows a large forest!
