Rita Vaali is a designer and visual artist whose work centers on textiles, particularly weaving and pattern design. Exploring and drawing inspiration from traditional textile structures has been a key source of inspiration in Vaali’s recent artistic practice.
The fabrics designed for Lapuan Kankurit are based on collections Vaali developed at Aalto University. Her playful style is reflected in these textiles through an illustrative approach and experimental interpretations of traditional weave structures.
