On our current trip to Finalnd, we were taken with the understated elegance of Kristiina Lassus’ hand-knotted rugs. The Helsinki-born designer, whose resume involves products developed for Alessi, exhibited a range of subtle patterns and richly organic designs for the duration of Helsinki Design and style Week, expressed in masterfully crafted wool rugs, hand created in Nepal by Indian and Nepalese artisans. Infused with delicate nature-inspired types (we especially love the Miro-like renderings of the KUUMA line), Lassus’ work reflects the inventive influences of distant cultures, although somehow expressing the subtlety and restraint intrinsic to her Nordic sensibilities.
