Harri Koskinen (born in 1970) has an uncompromising, bold design
aesthetic that has gained him international renown since the early days
of his career. Practicality, a spare style and a conceptual approach to
product and spatial design are Koskinen's trademarks. In 2009, Koskinen
launched his first namesake collection, Harri Koskinen Works. In January
2012 Koskinen was appointed Design Director of the Iittala brand.
Koskinen's works have been on display in exhibitions around the world.
He has been awarded several major design prizes, such as the Kaj Franck
Design Prize (2014), the Torsten and Wanja Söderberg Prize (2009), the
Pro Finlandia Medal (2007) and the Compasso d'Oro prize (2004).
