Introduction.
Kustaa Saksi was born in Kouvola, Finland and graduated from the institute of Design at Lahti University of Applied Sciences in 2000. Two years later he founded his own studio.
His graphic and patterned designs, art direction, illustrations, textiles, art works and installations, which have been shown in Helsinki, New York and, in 2014, at the prestigious Salone del Mobile design fair in Milan, have variously been described as psychedelic, kaleidoscopic and fantastical. He has designed for Nike, Salvatore Ferragamo, Moooi and Marimekko. After living in Paris for a few years, he now lives and works in Amsterdam.
