Katriinas harmonic work consists mainly of lights, interior accessories, small furnitures and tableware made out of various materials like glass, wood and metal.
Her designs reflect her fascination towards the field of work, the materials, the process of creating and those who create. One of her main materials glass has great qualities to reflect light and color, to cause optical illusions.
Following works are products from the collection Katriina has produced herself but also works which she has designed for other producers.
Katriina loves working together with talented artisans, as these co-operations are professionally very rewarding and act as inspirational learning opportunities for everyone involved.

Hely jewel lamp for Klong and Vieno clear vase for Katriina’s Glass Collection.
“The Hely lamp was given the best spot, right in the middle of the big hall, where the dazzling prize jewel of our home greets everyone who comes into the house. You have to walk through the hall to access different parts of the house, and therefore get to admire the lamp several times each day. We also used the colour scheme of the Hely lamp while decorating the rest of the house.” Privat customer

The European Forest City award, 2023 for The European Forest Institute
I had the honor of making the European Forest City of the Year award piece, which is awarded annually by the European Forest Institute (EFI). This year, Novi Sad in Serbia was awarded. EFI hoped that the work would be made of oak, which is an important wood material for Serbia. An oak leaf can also be seen in EFI's own logo.
I got the idea that the shape of the piece could be an acorn, which symbolizes the beginning of everything, including hope.
A possibility and a starting point for something new smolders in the seed. As if someone had heard my desire to do something meaningful with my creativity. Let the award acorn remind its recipients of the importance and hope of nurturing forests from the day forward.
From 2014, the EFI has granted the title of ‘European Forest City’ to the city which hosts the EFI Annual Conference. The 2023 EFI Annual Conference was held in Novi Sad, Serbia in September 2023.
The European Forest Institute was established in 1993 in Joensuu, Finland with the aim of enhancing international forest research and providing decision makers with unbiased forest-related information at a pan-European level. The EFI is a pan-European international organization. They have 25 Member Countries, and 116 member organizations from 36 different countries working in diverse research fields.
