Finnish textiles at their very very finest.
The TULPPAANI pattern was designed for Lapuan Kankurit by Helmi Liikanen in 2019. Helmi Liikanen is an Aalto University graduate, surface designer and a woven fabrics enthusiast. Helmi met Lapuan Kankurit on a study visit to the weaving mill - and an idea for a collaboration sparked. Many of the pieces that Helmi has designed for Lapuan Kankurit were created as part of her MA thesis. Often Helmi gets inspiration from the design process itself, as she plays with materials, colours and structures. Helmi believes in combining design knowledge and craftmanship for textiles with lasting beauty.
Helmi’s TULPPAANI design is a part of her studies at Aalto University. TULPPAANI is a fun and more experimental combination of different weaves and warp densities. “TULPPAANI was born out of the joy of playing around with weaves and materials.”
Inspired by the zero waste ideology Lapuan Kankurit are continuously working for improving the effective use of raw materials in their own production line. Tulppaani hot water bottle covers are sewn from the excess material.
