Björn Dahlström

As he grew older he also become interested in drawing and painting so he fused his two passions together to become a designer whose repertoire includes his Tools Cookware Collection for iittala, the leaf-inspired Stilla fabric print for Marimekko, as well as creating furniture, toys and bicycles. His success can be attributed to the fact that his designs are created with purpose and usability in mind. “I think it is important to listen and to have the ability to put oneself in the place of the user. Design cannot be all about style, things have to function.” Holding a professorship at the Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm; he continues to create his art but also passes his knowledge and unique aesthetic to future generations.

About Finnish Design
Finnish design has a long history and is know for simplicity, functionality, and craftsmanship. It's trademark designs emerged in the early 20th century, and gained international attention through pioneers like Alvar Aalto in architecture and furniture, as well as companies such as Iittala, Artek, and Marimekko. Their work emphasized clean lines, natural materials, and a harmonious balance between beauty and practicality. Everything must have a purpose. Iconic products like the Aalto vase, Artek’s Stool 60, and Marimekko’s bold textile patterns established Finland as a leader in modernist design. Over the next century, Finnish design became synonymous with high quality, technical skill, and timeless aesthetics—qualities that have earned it global recognition, particularly during the postwar years when Nordic design was celebrated worldwide, and still is. Today, Finnish products continue to enjoy international respect, not only for their aesthetic value but also for their reputation of reliability, thoughtful construction, and cultural authenticity.
