Teemu Salonen, who comes from the small municipality of Padasjoki, is a 
designer whose work is all about unique objects. Making things by hand 
is an essential part of his designer’s identity, and he considers his 
works to be both design objects and sculptures at the same time. 
Salonen’s years of experience as a curator in visual arts and as an 
entrepreneur specialising in fibre-reinforced plastic influence his bold 
works. Salonen is an experimental designer who is fuelled by challenges 
and who skilfully mixes a variety of materials and techniques, from 
glass fibre to ceramics. He has degrees in carpentry and craft design, 
and sees his workshop as a place of fun, where the tacky and the 
sophisticated are effortlessly rolled into one asymmetrical package.
