Antti Tuomi is a Helsinki-based furniture design studio, which mainly focuses on developing its own collection and commissioned projects. The 2022 opening collection is based on product development and exhibition projects implemented during the last five years more or less. Anna Lampinen has played a big role in the development process working for the studio since 2017 together with Antti. Some trusted Finnish makers have contributed to the process also. All Antti Tuomi furniture is manufactured in Finland.

“Most of the core questions of furniture design have already been skilfully answered. On the other hand, new ideas are constantly emerging. Ideas can originate from everyday observations, surprising associations, or technical insights. It is essential that the idea inspires a long-term and open-minded journey of exploration. When completed, the piece hopefully enriches the continuum of the furniture culture that has developed over centuries.”
