Satu Nisu Design Oy

What they make

According to their website, Satu Nisu Design Oy is a Finnish textile studio run by designer Satu Nisu, producing handwoven art textiles from a workshop in Kuopio, Northern Savonia. Rather than using virgin fibres, the company builds pieces from repurposed textile waste — discarded sports jerseys and used work clothing — collected from companies and sports clubs and turned into finished art through a "Responsible Design" initiative launched in 2022. The designer draws visual inspiration from the natural environment, translating forms such as rock, moss and bark into tactile textile works. Pieces are made to order in a size and colour chosen by the client, suited to both private homes and public or commercial spaces such as offices, where the site highlights their acoustic role in dampening echo and softening ambient sound alongside their decorative function. The site displays "Made in Finland" and Design From Finland marks, though no certifying criteria are detailed on the pages reviewed.
