Johanna Gullichsen Textile Craft & Design

Helsinki


Take a careful look at any woven cloth and you'll understand where this designer gets her ideas. The weave is at the heart of the practical yet stylish patterns Johanna Gullichsen creates in earthy beiges, blues and yellows. Fabrics are her focus, but she has moved into bags, upholstery, rugs and shoes, too. Her goods make great souvenirs.
