Teija Puranen is a Finnish textile designer based in southwest Finland. She has worked with Almedahls-Kinna, Finlayson, Fiskars,
Nanso and Marimekko. Teija tries to infuse a playful attitude into her art,
though the work behind it is quite meticulous. Often clipping and building
collages layer by layer before coming up with a design, Puranen’s techniques
show her interest in composition and rhythm. Puranen feels a close connection
with nature and mixes the both contemporary and craft tradition in her designs.
