The „Kaksikko“ studio is a design studio based in Helsinki, specializing in ceramic tableware and wooden furniture, founded by Salla Luhtasela and Wesley Walters. The duo is interested in functional, underrated forms that emphasize the tactile qualities of each material as well as the production process itself. They met while studying at the Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture and collaborated on various professional projects under the name Kaksikko.
About their design philosophy:
We consider ourselves form creators rather than designers, and our work process from the very early stages has a significant impact on the designs we create. We also make our designs by hand in small series, so our knowledge of wood and ceramics gives attention to both details and practicality, reflecting our understanding of these materials. We all want to create and make objects that people will use until they wear out.
