Juha Luukkonen is a maker of handcrafted serving pieces, cutlery and unique art pieces.
"I regard myself as a poet, but without using words. Although I work with a material which is perceived as cold and hard, I aim to create sensitive and emotional products."
The essence of the design process is to produce long-lasting items using ecologically-friendly materials. Manufacturing is based on recycling, and ferrous scrap is used as a major raw material, for both the metal itself and for many items directly.
High quality hand made serving items since 1994. Stainless steel with colors.
