From his workshop in Fiskars, Finland, Antrei Hartikainen designs and makes multidisciplinary projects, installations, sculptures and a wide range of products from wood. His work blurs the line between nature and technology, art and design, handicrafts and industrial manufacturing. For him, it is all about wood, and hand carving is his main technique. Antrei seeks to use wood sustainably through his innovative way of working. His unique creative approach and mastery of his chosen raw material, earned him the title of Young Designer of the Year in Finland in 2017. From tables to cabinets, his artistic compositions and designs draw much of their inspiration from nature, such as landscapes, plants and the climate. Antrei observes the frailty, transience and beauty of his local natural environment and encapsulates what he sees in his creations.
