Kristiina Lassus

Kristiina Lassus (1966-) is a Finnish designer active mainly in the carpet sector through the brand of the same name. After studying in Helsinki and Stockholm she moved to Italy in 1997 and made Milan the base of your activities. Her carpets are the result of a delicate sensitivity capable of blending Nordic minimalism with refined oriental suggestions. Above all, the charm of naturalistic inspirations dominates, inherent in neutral colored textures that communicate a sense of peace and serenity. In addition to her own carpet brands, Kristiina Lassus has also designed products in the past for brands such as Alessi, Zanotta and Poltronova, as well as covering the role of Design Coordinator for the Finnish brand Artek in her youth (from 1994 to 1997). She has been awarded the Red Dot Design Award twice (2008, 2010).
