Teemu Järvi is an artist and designer of many awards. He specializes in wilderness themes. The works derive from the artist’s lifelong love of nature. A ceaseless explorer of Finnish woods and lakes, Järvi is familiar with the wildlife through first-hand experience. He works with traditional tools such as the reed pen, creating works of art that transport us from our hectic urban existence to the soothing calm of primeval wilderness. Teemu Järvi’s craftsmanship is intimate. Like a hunter-gatherer of old, he too has a deep connection with the tools and models he uses. His work focuses on the essential: the amazingly complex and diverse nature, ever diminishing under the stress of our modern life.

Lapuan Kankurit started the co-operation with Teemu in 2017. The Lapuan Kankurit x Teemu Järvi collection includes several different nature-themed kitchen towels as well as a runner and a placemat.
