Josh Krute

I am a designer and maker based in Helsinki. I am interested in furniture and textile objects that have a simplistic form and function.

This pattern (Sumi Stripe, End Grain) is simplistic and nature inspired – which allow a clear spectrum of color, scale, and woven structure suitable for furniture upholstery or textile products for home. With textile, there is a fascination for how yarn qualities are combined with woven structure; how the graphical areas of a pattern become emitted as something three-dimensional with color, pattern, and tactility.

I think there is an understanding that sustainable practices can be achieved with the development/manufacturing/retailing of localized products. Moreover, I think sustainability can be attributed to the behaviors and decisions of consumers. As a designer, sustainability comes down to careful decision making
