Winner team of our design competition

We are pleased to present the winner team of our design competition: Rosa-Maria Tolvanen and Jani Luukkonen.

Both Rosa-Maria and Jani have graduated as designers from the Lahti Design Institute and have done design work together since graduation. The continuity of the collaboration has been natural for them after the studies, because already in the study phase they planned different projects as a team and found that the collaboration was smooth and that their design thinking was similar.

This is how they tell about their design philosophy:
"When designing, the idea is to create things that bring joy to everyday life with their aesthetics and functionality. User experience and user are the focus of our design. Inspiring themes are combination of contrasts and classical elements into balanced entities. Together, they create interesting and time-lasting solutions."

When designing the coat rack for our design competition, Rosa-Maria and Jani say that at the beginning they started playing with different shapes and structures. "We wanted a form that was as minimal and interesting as possible."  As a starting point for the design, they cite practicality and airiness as well as versatility of hangers and hooks. Here is how the idea of ​​the coat rack's shape was born.

We are looking forward to develope our future coat rack with this designer duo. You can follow the development process on our website as well as on our social media channels!
