"My work is guided by Finnish heritage, German principles, and Italian cultural richness. I believe in holistic design where functionality and longevity are the primary requirements."
Joni Kaarniittu
I grew up in the Finnish countryside among tractors, cows, and motorcycles. That’s where the curiosity started. Before I ever sat in a design studio, I spent several years as an electrician wiring cruise ships, vehicles, and commercial buildings. Also, for some weird reason, I started my own furniture brand along the way. Eventually, knowing how things worked wasn't enough, and I needed to understand the why and what behind them. That’s what led me to study Industrial Design. My path moved from Finland to Germany and finally to Italy, where I work with studios and clients today.
This site is my progress log, a way to share what I've found. My goal is to inspire others to bring out the best in themselves, or perhaps find a little more life in an old, dusty product.
Thank you for your time, and let’s keep in touch. A presto!
