Lapuan Kankurit
TULPPAANI Blanket
TULPPAANI, tulip in English is designed by Helmi Liikanen.
Helmi’s designs for Lapuan Kankurit, LEHTI and TULPPAANI, are both part of her studies at Aalto University. TULPPAANI is a fun and more experimental combination of different weaves and warp densities. “Tulppaani was born out of the joy of playing around with weaves and materials.” Helmi is specific when it comes to materials too. “To me it’s important to create designs that not only look but also feel good. Touch is one of our most powerful senses – the physical connection also matters in design.”
