about/Lauri Löppönen
Lauri Löppönen is a Helsinki-based multidisciplinary artist, designer and goldsmith.
He forges high-quality items ranging from wearable art pieces and curiosities to one of a kind jewellery. Löppönen utilises mostly recycled and repurposed materials in his work and combines them into something new.
There is a common thread that brings the rich universe of Löppönen’s work together: a strong inspiration drawn from classical arts, wondrous world of antiques and traditional techniques involving a lot of time and skill. (Read more about the materials used in the ‘Doctrine’ section.)
Available for commissions, collaborations and features.
