I want my design to touch you

Designer Tero Kuitunen, b. 1986, is inspired by the interface of design and art, the unprejudiced apposition of things, floating sceneries, and the meaning of humor and touch in design. Alongside product design, Tero is known for concept and space planning as well as memorable projects of contemporary art and design.

He has graduated as a designer from the Applied Arts MA program at the Aalto University School of Art, Design and Architecture.  Tero works as a product, concept and interior designer in projects for clients such as Supercell, Absolut Vodka, Hakola and many more.

Currently Tero is working as a freelance designer with a vast experience in the design and art field. He has participated in international exhibitions and fairs in e.g. Beirut, Stockholm, Japan and Italy. 2019-2020 he curated and created the concept for Wild at Heart exhibition that toured to Vienna, Budapest, Stockholm, Tokyo and Helsinki. In 2021 Tero was invited to create together with Karoliina Hellberg and Raimo Saarinen a new exhibition at the prominent Amos Rex Museum. Tero has received a one-year working grant from the Finnish Cultural Foundation in 2017 and projects grands from Arts Promotion Centre Finland and City of Kotka.

Throughout his work, Tero wants to find something that moves and touches people. Materials and colours are often his biggest inspiration when starting a new design project.

"I love to use bold colours, unexpected forms and humor. With these choices I want to evoke people with questions, make them happy and find insightful solutions."
