Hannakaisa Pekkala

Hannakaisa Pekkala is a Finnish designer known for her works that combine art and product design in an outstanding way. Pekkala, who studied at the Institute of Design & Fine Arts in Lahti, Finland, draws inspiration for her unique creations from the stark, stagnant landscape of Northern Finland as well as from the vibrant lifestyles of cities worldwide – contrasts fascinate Pekkala, which is strongly reflected in her simple and functional, yet always surprising works. In addition to running her own studio, Pekkala is also the CEO of UU Market, an online art gallery and store showcasing art by contemporary Finnish designers.
