Tero Kuitunen is a Helsinki based designer whose work distinctively plays with materials and forms. At the moment he is interested by a haptic approach to design, that is experimenting with touch. Which materials invite touch and why? Are the softness of velvet, the movement of tassles and the coarse surface of red clay qualities which invite touch? Tero’s style could be characterised as playful scandinavian. His design uses strong colour, playful forms and humour. Through these qualities Tero hopes to stir up feelings of happiness, bewilderment and insight in the viewer.
