“My inspiration comes from many things, such as everyday life, animal bones and structures, friends’ words, different materials, as well as interesting colour combinations. I am fascinated by complex yet sophisticated technical details, daring combinations of materials, and harmonious mixes of colour tones. My primary material is glass; it has great qualities that reflect light and colour and create optical illusions. It’s a challenge for a designer to work with glass.”
Katriina Nuutinen’s work is an outstanding example of modern Finnish glass design, inspired by the captivating interplay of glass and light. She specializes in glass and ceramics, but her work is also characterized by explorations with wood, metal, leather and textiles, as well as combining different materials. Nuutinen’s harmonic work mainly consists of sculptural lights, interior accessories and tableware.
